Amari Cooper Week 11 Outlook - Steelers at Browns

The MRI he had on his knee apparently meant nothing to him, as he posted a ridiculous 11 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings last week. He saw a season-high 14 targets, which is promising, as he'd been lacking in the target department through eight games. The Lions are going to have Darius Slay shadow him in coverage, one of the better shadow cornerbacks in the game who's allowed just a 57.1 percent catch-rate in his coverage this year with just one touchdown on 28 targets. The Cowboys move Cooper around quite a bit, so it'll be impossible for Slay to stay on him 100 percent of the time. It's the reason we saw Allen Robinson able to tally six catches for 86 yards against them last week. Some will look back and say that Stefon Diggs hit them up for 7/142/0 but Slay left that game after playing just 18 snaps, opening the door for him to produce. Cooper will remain in lineups as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 because he's still a top route-runner in the game, but it's not a week to play him in cash lineups.
