| Expert | ||
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | DK Metcalf was one of my biggest dynasty targets last offseason and he did not disappoint even with a new quarterback. The super-sized WR finished as the WR24 in points per game and as the WR17 overall, but I'd argue that Metcalf left meat on the bone in his first year with Geno Smith at the helm considering his final output didn't truly reflect his alpha usage. He was the WR12 in expected points per game based on ranking 18th in target share (25.5%) and 12th in air yards share (37%). He tied for second overall in red zone targets with Justin Jefferson. | |
| 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. | Despite the adoration for Metcalf, he has only finished as a top-10 WR once in his career (2020). Since then he has WR-12 and 18 finishes respectively. This is the first year that his ADP aligns with his production. Currently going as the WR16, Metcalf is a perfect WR-two or WR-one if you start the draft RB heavy. |
| 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. | Metcalf has seen his fantasy production decline in three straight seasons after opening his first two seasons as the WR10 and WR20 in fantasy points per game. He found himself sitting at WR24 after the 2022 season. Metcalf's finish was fueled by three massive games in which he finished with at least 127 receiving yards as the WR7 or higher in weekly scoring. He was a rollercoaster wide receiver who also had six weeks as a WR55 or lower in weekly scoring. Metcalf's overall metrics in 2022 still put him in the WR2 bucket when projecting forward to 2023. He was 18th in target share (25.5%), tenth in air yard share (36.3%), and 34th in yards per route run. Metcalf was also 12th in deep target and second in red zone targets among receivers. |
| 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 | Career-high 90 catches in 1st season with QB Geno Smith - positive TD regression likely after 3rd-most RZ targets (27) yielded just 28th-most RZ catches (8) |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/8: JSN is a much different role, but could eat into the target share regardless. 3/7: Good to have his boy Geno back | |
| 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. | There is not much difference between DK Metcalf and Tyler Locket, as Metcalf was just a few fantasy points behind Lockett, finishing with 87 receptions for 1,008 yards and 6 TDs. Metcalf is a solid WR2 in 2023, as long as the Seahawks can bring Geno Smith back after a breakout season. |
