Since joining the Cowboys, Amari Cooper has turned into a wide receiver fantasy players can rely on. Even without his starting quarterback, Dak Prescott, Cooper proved to be a solid contributor. With Dak back, the sky is the limit for Cooper in 2021. However, the excitement around the veteran wideout is dampened by his ongoing foot issues. When will Amari Cooper return from his foot injury?

Fantasy Impact:
This is great news as there were beginning to be concerns over Cooper’s ankle. We likely won’t see him much in the preseason, but fantasy managers should feel confident in drafting him this month.

What the Experts are Saying
Despite plenty of other receiving options in this offense, Cooper continues to shine for fantasy purposes. Through Week 5 last year – which is when Dak went down with his injury – Cooper was the WR13 in all of fantasy football. Even with Lamb performing at a very high level right away, Cooper was still a fantastic fantasy asset to have on your roster. Heading into 2021, we should see Dallas air the ball out a ton again and Cooper’s going to be the favorite to lead this team in targets. He’s a fantastic high-end WR2 to add to your fantasy lineup.
