Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper finally turned into the high-volume receiver we have wanted for years as he finished as the WR17. Cooper amassed a 26.1% target share (16th), a 26.1% target per route run rate (20th), and a 38.3% air yard share (seventh). Cooper will be entering his age 30 season, so there's some concern if his production could begin to taper off. Cooper turned back the hands of time with his highest yards per route run last season since 2019. Cooper was also 12th in red zone and deep targets. As long as Deshaun Watson can return to some shade of his former self at quarterback, Cooper should be able to turn in another WR2 campaign.

Amari Cooper caught three of his four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-10 win over the Commanders in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper was held without a catch in the first half but he exploded for two scores after halftime. His first touchdown was an impressive one as he evaded a defender around the Washington 36-yard line after a catch on the left sideline and raced the rest of the way for six points. Cooper's second touchdown came in the fourth quarter. It was his ninth score of the season, setting a new career high for him. Cooper will finish off his 2022 campaign in Week 18's road matchup against the Steelers.
