CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Jets

Amari Cooper decided to go and rewrite Cleveland’s history books last week with a franchise-record 265 receiving yards in the win over the Texans. Cooper has been on a roll since Joe Flacco took over as the starting quarterback. He probably won’t get 265 again Thursday. It’s also not the easiest matchup for Cooper. He should see plenty of Sauce Gardner lined up across from him and we know how good Gardner is. Still, with Cooper’s targets — 37 in the last three weeks — there’s no reason to jump off the horse. Cooper may very well be a league winner.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Houston Texans

Who would have thought Joe Flacco would help revive Amari Cooper's fantasy season? After a 7-77 line in Week 14, Cooper exploded for a 4-109-1 line on eight targets in Week 15. Flacco has targeted Cooper 22 times in the last two weeks. The Browns built plenty of momentum following their rally last week against the Bears. This week, they get the Texans, a very favorable matchup for Cooper. Ride the hot hand potentially into your fantasy championship.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears

Joe Flacco really took a liking to Amari Cooper in Week 14, sending him a season-high 14 targets. Cooper caught seven of them for 77 yards. The two will get a chance to build on their chemistry now that Flacco was named the starter for the rest of the season. Cooper's volume makes him a solid WR2 heading into the fantasy playoffs.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Los Angeles Rams

Amari Cooper was banged up during last week's loss to the Broncos, finishing with just 16 yards on two catches. Cooper's outlook has dropped significantly since the Browns lost Deshaun Watson. He didn't do much with Dorian Thompson-Robinson. How much do you think he'll do with Joe Flacco? Cooper is a tough sell this week against a good Rams secondary.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Denver Broncos

With Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the starter, Amari Cooper's fantasy stock has plummeted. He has five catches for 50 yards in two games with DTR behind center. You could argue David Njoku is the de facto No. 1 target now in Cleveland. It's almost crazy to see Cooper ranked as low as he is, but here we are. Cooper is a borderline playable option in Denver, especially if he sees a healthy dose of Patrick Surtain II.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Amari Cooper was just getting back into the swing of things with Deshaun Watson and now the quarterback is out for the year with a shoulder injury. This week, it's back to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who has one start this season. Cooper had one catch for 16 yards in that game. Proceed caution this week with Cooper until we see what kind of connection he can build with DTR. He did see six targets in that Baltimore game, for what it's worth.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Baltimore Ravens

Amari Cooper was certainly happy to see Deshaun Watson return last week. Cooper recorded his third game this season with 100 receiving yards and scored his first touchdown since Week 3. The crazy part is he only saw five targets, but the Browns didn’t need to do much last week as their defense completely shut down the Cardinals. This week is a much different story. Cleveland gets arguably the best defense in the league right now in the Ravens on the road. Cooper is still a fine play, but also keep in mind he had just one catch for 16 yards in the first meeting with the Ravens.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Amari Cooper saw 11 targets last week from P.J. Walker and hauled in six of them for 89 yards. Cooper has been up and down, but some of that has been quarterback play. There’s still enough talent and volume here, especially in a solid matchup against the Cardinals, that Cooper should continue to remain a WR2/Flex option moving forward and now he gets Deshaun Watson back.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks

Amari Cooper has certainly been up and down over the past few weeks. Last week, it was just 22 yards on two catches. P.J. Walker is starting again for the Browns, so Cooper’s day could really go in a number of directions. Cooper is also facing one of the better defensive secondary groups in the league. Cooper’s talent still makes him flex or even WR2 worthy, but expectations have to be tempered this week and as long as Deshaun Watson remains out with his shoulder injury.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Indianapolis Colts

Amari Cooper took advantage of the 49ers secondary and scored his second 100-yard game of the season. And this was with P.J. Walker as the quarterback. Walker may be in again this week, but there’s a chance Deshaun Watson will be back after he returned to practice this week. Either way, Cooper is pretty much a solid WR2 lock at this point and definitely so in a week with six byes.
