Amari Cooper

One of Amari Cooper’s goals for his first full season as a Cowboy is to hit 2,000 yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact

In an interview given to ProFootball Talk PM, Cooper said that one of his goals for 2019 was to become the first NFL receiver to go for 2,000 yards in a single season. He played just nine games for Dallas last season, racking up 53 receptions for 725 yards and six TDs. Those numbers work out to 94 receptions, 1,289 yards, and 11 TDs over a full 16-game schedule, which would have been good for WR8 in half-PPR scoring in 2018. Cooper’s goal is lofty to be sure, considering the run-first nature of the offense with Ezekiel Elliott, though a WR1 finish for fantasy purposes seems very realistic.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper caught 6-of-9 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's Divisional Round loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper made an early impact catching the first Dallas score of the game. And while he caught five additional passes, they only amounted to 65 yards. Cooper, Dak Prescott, and Ezekiel Elliott should once again be playing next January.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper caught 7-of-9 targets for 106 yards in Saturday night's Wild Card win over the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper was in a little bit of a slump, finishing the regular season with fewer than five receptions for 32 yards in each of the final three games of the year. However, Cooper was red hot leading up to Week 15, especially at home. It showed in Saturday's playoff win. Look for Cooper to remain heavily involved in the Dallas aerial attack in the Divisional Round facing the Rams or Saints.

Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught five of his 11 targets for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Sunday was a meaningless game for the Cowboys, and continuing to build a rapport with quarterback Dak Prescott is probably one of the only reasons that Cooper played.

Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had his second straight quiet performance in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching four passes for 20 yards.

Fantasy Impact

This was certainly not the output that fantasy owners were hoping for in their playoff matchups, especially after Cooper caught three touchdown passes and produced more than 200 yards receiving just two weeks ago. With the Cowboys playing in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Giants next week, owners in leagues still playing in Week 17 should keep an eye on Cooper's status in case Dallas decides to rest their starters.
