| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | I honestly don't have as much faith as the community in the Cleveland QB bouncing back. Even though Cooper showed he can succeed with various QBs, the team has added more target competition. This offseason they brought in Elijah Moore and Cedrick Tillman to add to Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Njoku. As I result, there are too many questions for me to confidently select Cooper any higher. | Probably my biggest riser this offseason has been Christian Watson. There have been no notable facts that have led to this increase, instead basing it on the "it just makes sense" theory. Think about it, he was thought to be an explosive prospect and proved just that in his rookie season. He is now the clear top receiving option, competing with two rookie tight ends and fifth-rounder and fellow sophomore Romeo Doubs. Plus, he has already developed some chemistry with Jordan Love and possesses the upside that can win you a matchup on any given week. You are also betting on Jordan Love here, but Watson could easily surpass his current ADP value. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/24: Lots of talk of that Watson's route tree is already growing big in camp and LaFleur is expecting huge things. I'm in love with Round 4 Watson 3/19: Lazard gone, Cobb likely to follow. Even with QB turnover, Love should be fine & Watson could command 140+ targets Absolute freak finished as a Top-6 WR once he became a starter. Love should be solid enough to keep the ceiling sky-high here | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Amari Cooper finally turned into the high-volume receiver we have wanted for years as he finished as the WR17. Cooper amassed a 26.1% target share (16th), a 26.1% target per route run rate (20th), and a 38.3% air yard share (seventh). Cooper will be entering his age 29 season, so there's some concern if his production could begin to taper off. Cooper turned back the hands of time with his highest yards per route run last season since 2019. Cooper was also 12th in red zone and deep targets. As long as Deshaun Watson can return to some shade of his former self at quarterback, Cooper should be able to turn in another WR2 campaign. | Christian Watson was the talk of the town after blowing up the Senior Bowl and combine last year. Worries about Watson began to mount for many in camp and during the early part of the season as he dealt with nagging injuries. Once healthy, Watson proved that the cream does rise to the top. He emerged as the Packers' clear number-one wideout. Watson ranked 14th in open rate (per ESPN analytics), 12th in yards per route run, and third in fantasy points per route run. He was fourth in YAC per reception behind only Deebo Samuel, Rondale Moore, and Jaylen Waddle (minimum 50 targets, per PFF). Watson is a strong WR2 that has huge WR1 upside. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Extremely safe WR2 bet - in his 8 seasons, has finished inside the WR Top 10 twice (inc. 2022) and only slightly outside Top 25 twice | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Cooper was joining a new team and he had to play with two quarterbacks last year. Cooper still tallied 76 receptions for 1,109 yards and 9 TDs in 16 fantasy games. Cooper should benefit from a full offseason with Deshaun Watson taking reps and he is a WR2 with upside heading into 2023. | Watson had 36 receptions for 507 yards and 7 TDs in his rookie campaign, which saw him battle injuries early in the year and not take on a prominent role in the offense until Week 10. Watson should be a WR2 with WR1 upside in 2023. |
