| Expert | ||
| Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone | Fourth-best WR at generating step or more of separation vs. single-man coverage in 2021 (min 70 routes), 65% @dwainmcfarland | 13th in total receptions (90), 11th in yards after catch (439), 20th in route win rate (43.8%), 7th in contested catch rate (61.6%), 26th in fantasy points per game (13.4). Goff is quoted as saying, "I'm looking for him when things break down, and I'm looking for him when we need a play. Right now, he's that guy." |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Amon-Ra St. Brown's fantastic season-ending stretch was eye-popping, but it also needs context as we look forward to the 2022 season. St. Brown's final six games were filled with insane volume ranking behind only Justin Jefferson in targets (67) and target share (33.5%) and sixth in weighted opportunity, but his efficiency was also elite. During that stretch, he was also 13th in yards per route run immediately behind Davante Adams and Micheal Pittman (minimum ten targets, per PFF). T.J. Hockenson was out, and D'Andre Swift was a part-time player as St. Brown turned in full legend mode performances. With their respective returns and the addition of D.J. Chark and Jameson Williams, the expectations for St. Brown need to be tempered this season. | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Amari Cooper finished last season 27th in half-PPR per game (11.2), which was in line with his career average. There is hope that he can provide a higher floor as the clear No. 1 wide receiver in Cleveland. And that floor will be accompanied by an extremely high ceiling with Deshaun Watson entrenched under center over the final 10 games of the season. The ex-Texans quarterback fueled top fantasy WR finishes for the likes of Brandin Cooks (WR16, 2020) and Will Fuller (WR8/game, 2020) the last time he played. And prior to that, he supplemented DeAndre Hopkins as the fantasy WR4 and WR10 from 2018-2019. However, the boom-or-bust nature to his game will likely remain a staple of his game. Having Brissett over the first six weeks - alongside a projectable run-heavy offense - will make Cooper inconsistent. Although Brissett can prove to be serviceable, he is a significant downgrade compared to Dak Prescott. If Cooper only managed to finish as WR27 in 15 games with Prescott, it's hard to be optimistic about him as the Browns WR1 or your fantasy WR2. There's also a glaring issue of the indoor/outdoor splits that Cooper has posted during his career. | Amon-Ra St. Brown cannot be denied. The Day 3 rookie silenced the doubters with an incredible hot streak down the stretch for the Detroit Lions commanding a 33% target share - 11 targets per game - en route to a WR3 PPR finish from Weeks 13-18. But the elite late-season production comes with the caveat that De'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson were not healthy. Before their injuries, ASB was an essential non-factor outside a stretch from Weeks 4-6 where he commanded a 22% target share. The Lions' rookie wide receiver was an extreme outlier as he not only finished top-50 but 21st overall; that almost never happens with fourth-round picks. The path for upside St. Brown showed last season is what we should be pursuing, but be mindful that it will likely take more injuries with first-round pick Jameson Williams and veteran D.J. Chark added to the roster this offseason. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Cooper's value hinges on DeShaun Watson's suspension. If Watson gets suspended for most of the season, Cooper's outlook takes a nosedive. QB Jacoby Brissett is more of a game manager than a gunslinger. And Cleveland is a run-oriented offense as it is. WR 22 is way too high for a WR on Browns' offense that figures to struggle this year. Keep an eye on Watson's suspension news this summer. Once we know for certain if and when he'll be back in 2022, that's when we can more accurately predict Browns' players. Until then- avoid! | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Cooper had only 97 targets, 63 receptions, 786 yards, and eight touchdowns in the 2021 fantasy season. Cooper is now a Brown and while he will have upside catching balls from Deshaun Watson, that will not happen for at least the first six games due to Watson's suspension being appealed. That makes Cooper a low upside WR3 with WR2 upside later in the season. | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 8/3: 8/3: Up-and-down we go. Now the NFL Appeals & will push for season-long suspension, most expect it to stick. I'm ranking as if Watson won't play in 2022 until told otherwise - wish is a huge downgrade for Cooper, Njoku, Chubb, Hunt, everyone. Avoid CLE. 8/1: The ruling is in: 6 games. As absurd as that is, it gives Watson & his pass-catchers a whole lot more appeal, greatly raising all their ceilings for the last 2/3rds of the season (Cooper, DPJ, Njoku) 7/19: Wastson's suspension likely being 8 or under significantly raises the appeal of ALL Browns Pass-catchers, especially Cooper *UPDATEx 3 (6/8) - Liklihood of major DW Suspension coming, potentially for full year. Cooper takes a huge hit with dramatic drop in QB play & likely huge schematic shifts | |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | His stock rises and falls on the tide of the Deshaun Watson off-field drama | |
