Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Week 7, Shakir has been the WR32 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 24.9% target share with 2.35 YPRR and a 32.5% first-read share. He has one end-zone target in this stretch while averaging 63.3 receiving yards per game. Shakir has six red zone targets across his last six games. He faces a Rams secondary that has been stout against slot receivers since Week 7, allowing the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game and the seventh-fewest PPR points per target.

Last week, if you look at Cooper's overall route share (57.9% route share), it would appear that he remained a part-time player, but the weird snow game and blowout nature of the contest obscure things. In the first half, he had a 70% route share, which trailed only Khalil Shakir (80%). Assuming there are no flukey elements to this week's game, we should see Cooper hit a 70-80% route share. During his time in Buffalo, when he was on the field, his per route numbers were good, with a 19% TPRR and 2.00 YPRR. Cooper could have a breakout game this week against a Rams' secondary that, since Week 7, has ranked 16th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also surrendering the highest PPR points per target to the position.

Coleman opened this week with a limited practice session (wrist). Buffalo held him out last week. I'll update his status on Friday.
