Amari Cooper Week 11 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 19th 2020, 8:50am EST

The quarterback change was always going to negatively affect Cooper and his teammates, but outside of one game against the Giants, he's been solid. Cooper's finished as the WR38 or better in 7-of-9 games, including 2-of-3 without Prescott. The issue is upside, as he's not going to score nearly as much, and the Cowboys aren't going to throw nearly as much. The Vikings have allowed more fantasy points per target (2.20) than any other team in the league, which certainly helps you feel a little bit better. They don't have a shadow cornerback, so the Cowboys will be able to pick and choose their matchups. Most of Cooper's snaps are at RWR, which would put him against 2018 undrafted free agent Chris Jones in coverage. He's been forced into the starting lineup due to injuries and has allowed 11-of-13 passing for 100 yards and a touchdown in his coverage, good for a 124.4 QB Rating. Think about this... the Vikings have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers but have seen the fourth-fewest targets. Cooper should be in lineups as a WR2 this week.
