Amari Cooper active, likely limited

Per Dan Graziano...

 

Now being told Raiders WR Amari Cooper will be ACTIVE for today’s game vs the Chiefs. As mentioned earlier, the expectation is that his snaps will be limited. “Pitch count,” so to speak. As of Friday morning, coaches were planning to be without Cooper. He pushed to play.

 

​I wouldn't feel comfortable trusting Cooper today even in a great matchup. Crabtree is in a good spot and I even think Patterson has some sneaky appeal.

Rotoworld reported: Listed as questionable with an ankle injury, Cooper wasn't even worked out by medical staff before the game, suggesting there was never any doubt about his availability for the team.

 

Now Im really starting to debate playing him over Baldwin.

Raider coaching staff has been conservative with injuries, so that pitch count business is legit.

 

Also game plan in practice has been geared toward other receivers. Coop may be a decoy. With that week of rest I look for Crabs to have a strong effort. Also buzz on Patterson this week has been significant.

Thanks for the insight. Prob gonna keep Coop on the bench now.

I have the same Baldwin or cooper call. I have Baldwin in but Im terrified about it either way.

His hands make him limited on most weeks.
