CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland is looking to throw the football more this season as quarterback Deshaun Watson looks to shake off the rust. That's good news for Cooper, who was already a really good receiver even when Watson struggled last season. In one of the meetings with Cincinnati last season, Cooper had 131 yards and a touchdown on five catches. Even with the addition of Elijah Moore, Cooper will still be the man in this offense. He's a good WR2 option this week.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Amari Cooper's first season in Cleveland was a successful one and that was with two quarterbacks throwing him the football. He finished as a borderline WR1 with Jacoby Brissett and Deshaun Watson both starting games. Cooper now gets a full season to build a connection with Watson following a rusty start between the two.

Fantasy Downside
Age could start becoming a factor for Cooper as he is 29 years old this season. The Browns also have a little more weaponry on the outside after trading for Elijah Moore from the Jets this offseason. Donovan Peoples-Jones is also still in the mix, so the Browns could spread the ball out a little more when they pass. This is also a key because Cleveland loves to run the football, understandably so.

2023 Bottom Line
Even with the focus on running, Cooper still commands a solid target share as the top option in the air for the Browns and if Watson can shake off his rust, Cooper should continue being a reliable option in fantasy, one that you can get near the fourth round.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Washington Commanders

Amari Cooper saw 10 targets from Deshaun Watson for the first time this season and that was in a game with frigid conditions. In fact, it was Cooper's best day since Watson returned from suspension. The connection is there between Watson and Cooper but the Browns are facing a good Washington defense on the road, making the matchup tough for Cooper, but he still checks in as a solid flex option due to the volume he is likely to receive each week.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New Orleans Saints

Interestingly, Amari Cooper's targets have dwindled in the three games since Deshaun Watson took over as the starter. He saw six targets against the Ravens for 58 yards on four catches. He has now gone four straight games and five out of six without a touchdown. This week, it's a date with the Saints, who incredibly still have playoff hopes themselves. With how the Browns have been running of late, it's tricky to put a lot of stock in their offense in the fantasy playoffs, other than Nick Chubb. However, Cooper can still break out. He's risky, but there's some upside with him.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Baltimore Ravens

A hip injury limited Amari Cooper to just two catches for 42 yards against the Bengals. He did still see seven targets, giving him 40 over the last four weeks. In Week 7 against the Ravens, Cooper caught three of his four targets for 74 yards. It's still a tough matchup, but Cooper has developed an early connection with Deshaun Watson (16 targets in two games). Cooper remains a strong flex play with upside.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cincinnati Bengals

In the first look at the Deshaun Watson-Amari Cooper connection, Cooper was targeted 9 times but only caught 4 passes for 40 yards. But the good news is that he did see 9 targets, so Watson will clearly look Cooper's way. The Browns -- and Cooper's fantasy owners -- are hoping Cooper can replicate his outing from Week 8 against the Bengals, when he caught 5 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. He'll see the targets, making him worthy of WR2 territory this week.

CLE WR Amari Cooper - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Houston Texans

Amari Cooper was Jacoby Brissett's favorite target during his 11 starts, especially over the last two weeks, with 12 targets against the Bills and Buccaneers. You have to believe Deshaun Watson will continue that stretch for Cooper and build a connection of their own. Cooper has at least 90 yards in three of his last four games, so he's hot and the Browns play the Texans this week, so continue to ride the hot hand of Cooper.
