While appearing on NFL Network's "Inside Training Camp," Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that Amari Cooper added some bulk this offseason and is up to 225 pounds. (NFL Network)
Fantasy Impact:
Cooper weighed-in at 211 pounds at the Combine in 2015, though we don't have a measurement prior to last season when Cooper hit the weight room. Whatever the case, Cooper appears to be striving for more physicality in his game. In the interview, Gruden compared Cooper to Sterling Sharpe, who was an inch smaller than Cooper, but weighed around 210 pounds. In his career, Sharpe posted 90 or more receptions four times, while hitting at least 1,100 yards in five of the last six seasons he played. If you've paid attention throughout the offseason, Gruden has done nothing but praise Cooper and the type of player that he expects him to be. At this point, you should expect a minimum of 130 targets and WR2 production in 2018.
