Raiders trade WR Amari Cooper to Cowboys

Oct 22, 2018

Jon Gruden is shipping another young talent out of town.

The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring receiver Amari Cooper in a trade with the Oakland Raiders, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Oakland will receive a first-round pick from Dallas in the deal, Rapoport added.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper will have the Week 8 bye to get acclimated and will likely slide in as the team's No. 1 option in the passing game. He has been an enigma over the past season-plus, but he's still just 24-years-old and has two, 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. From a rest-of-season standpoint, there is some upside here, though he's joining a new (typically run-heavy) offense in the middle of the season, so there's some downside as well. Consider him a WR4 with WR3 upside if things break his way. If Dak Prescott peppers him with nine-plus targets per game, which is unlikely, he could achieve WR2 value by season's end.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
