Antiramie 50 Posted November 16, 2017 He's the #16 ranked WR on FantasyPros for this week. I don't get it. Aside from his monster week, he's averaging 4 pts/game. 4!!! I'm sure most people might not have better options this week, but does anyone think he's really a high-end WR2 vs NE? I just scooped up Maclin and think he's the better play. Maybe I'm missing something here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedzoneMonster 102 Posted November 16, 2017 Dede Westbrook will have a better game than Cooper this week. Then again, Westbrook will have 250 yards and 3 scores, so still start Cooper with confidence. Seriously though, this game was made for Cooper to breakout. I really feel Belicheck will focus on taking Crabtree out over Cooper. Also, I'm not buying he hasn't done anything since his big week vs KC. He has gotten significantly more targets in each of the 2 games since the KC game, meaning OAK is clearly trying to get him more involved. Hey, he could put up 40 yards and 0 tds this week, but I think he's more likely for 80 and a score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,451 Posted November 16, 2017 How many ff points do you get for Targets? He still needs to catch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted November 16, 2017 The only Raider I'd start with confidence in this game is the kicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 102 Posted November 16, 2017 How many ff points do you get for Targets? He still needs to catch them. I agree, but my point is they are clearly making an effort to get Cooper more involved, which is never a bad thing. Case in point, in the 5 games before his big game he averaged 5.2 targets per game. For the past 3 games he is averaging 12.6 targets per game. More targets = more opportunities = more points. That's all I'm saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,451 Posted November 16, 2017 More targets doesn't always lead to more ff points. Just look at Cooper lol. And if Mr Raiders Mick doesn't like him I'm sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted November 16, 2017 The only Raider I'd start with confidence in this game is the kicker. I think thats iffy. I can see Raiders getting down so much they stop using their kicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antiramie 50 Posted November 17, 2017 Looks like I'm rolling Cooper and hoping for another 200/2 performance after what AB did against me last night... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICEMAN 38 Posted November 17, 2017 My guess is that the Pat's will have Gilmore shadow him all game long and take their chances with bracket coverage on Crabtree (the more dangerous of the two) with Malcolm Butler and McCourtey over the top. ICEMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course more targets don't ALWAYS lead to more fantasy points, but they certainly don't hurt! All I'm saying is he's been getting targeted A LOT the past few games, and the game script vs NE is in his favor. Sure, he COULD put up 30 yards and no TDs, but if he's on you team there's probably not a better opportunity to start him the rest of the way other than maybe the next time he plays KC again.

weepaws 2,451 Posted November 18, 2017 Depends on your other WRs. He might be the best play. He's no better then a wr3, no better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this sounds backwards, but Im afraid he wont do well against KC next time since they might try and do everything in their power to not let him repeat his previous performance. Maybe Peters shadows him that game I dont know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpenceToons 70 Posted November 19, 2017 I've been toying with starting him in DFS and I got to wondering, hey, if Cooper was looking winded on the back end of some of those 19 tgts he was getting at sea level in wk7 vs KC, how's he going to fare at mile-and-a-half-high Mexico City ? Maybe not so bad....here are the receiving lines for OAK notables in 2016 wk11's Mexico City game vs HOU: Cooper 5-4-57-1 Crabtree 7-3-5-0 Roberts 3-1-6-0 Walford 4-2-28-0 fwiw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 20, 2017 Teaded and I no longer own him. Carr ain't nothing special and crabs is a possession receiver. Someone else can own all of them. Definitely drafting Cooper as a 3rd wr next year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
