| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Woods is more of a WR3 this week, he was horrible against Dallas last year with 9 targets, 4 receptions, 17 yards, and no touchdowns. Dallas is running a new defensive scheme, but the poor showing last year is cause for concern. | The Rams were 14th against fantasy wide receivers, Cooper will have to contend with Jalen Ramsey, but he should still be in the WR2 discussion. |
| Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone | Cooper is likely to see a lot of Jalen Ramsey in Sunday night's matchup with the Rams. | |
| Jacob Wayne Lineups | After Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks departed this offseason, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp were let as the only proven skill position players on the roster. The Cowboys' passing defense should be worse this year after losing Byon Jones in free agency and this game could be a high-scoring shootout between two great offenses. Woods is a WR2 with an incredible baseline who could drift into WR1 territory this week. | Amari Cooper has been recovering from a hamstring injury for the past couple of week and while he's reportedly ready to play in full in Week 1, it wouldn't shock me to see him suffer a setback before the game. Even if he does play in full, he would likely draw shadow coverage from Jalen Ramsey, one of the best corners in football. With so many weapons in this offense, the Cowboys don't need Cooper to win and I can see Michael Gallup coming up with a huge performance in Week 1. If you drafted Cooper, you're probably not benching him, but just temper your expectations for this week. |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | There are a lot of questions about the running back and tight end positions, and even some with Cooper Kupp, but there's no question about Woods' involvement in the Rams offense. He's now played 43 games under Sean McVay and has seen at least seven targets in 33 of them. He saw a ridiculous 79 targets over the final seven games in 2019, too. The Cowboys lost their best cornerback Byron Jones this offseason and have a new defensive coordinator, so it's not wise to look at Woods' lack of a stat line last year against the Cowboys as proof he'll struggle. He caught just 4-of-9 targets for 17 scoreless yards in their meeting last year. The new coordinator for the Cowboys is Mike Nolan, and the last three years he was a defensive coordinator, his units finished 32nd, 27th, and 24th in total yards allowed. Start Woods as a WR2 this week who should fare much better this time around. | The Cowboys have allowed Cooper to take some practices off leading up to the season, which has caused panic among fantasy land. Mike McCarthy said they're simply trying to lessen his reps as a veteran, though it's a bit worrisome considering Cooper's injury history. Another thing that's worrisome about this week is a potential shadow date with Jalen Ramsey. These two met last year where Cooper saw just two targets, catching one for 19 yards. Both targets were in the first 10 minutes of the game and that was it. He may have been masking an injury through that game, too, as he took a big hit from Ramsey on his lone reception. Cooper is talented enough to get open against any cornerback, but with all the options in the Cowboys offense, there's no need to force it. The Rams cornerback unit behind Ramsey isn't what you'd call good, so if Ramsey doesn't shadow, Cooper can go bananas. Under a new defensive coordinator in 2020, we don't know how the Rams defense will approach this trio of wide receivers. When you combine the potential shadow situation with his undisclosed injury, Cooper has the looks of a boom/bust WR2/3-type option this week. |
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Dallas was a tough matchup for WRs last year, but Byron Jones is no longer in a Cowboys uniform. Chidobe Awuzie and Trevon Diggs are going to be tasked with slowing down this Rams passing attack and Woods has the advantage in this situation. This game could easily get out of control and points could be flying up on the board. Woods is a must-start option this week and is a solid WR2 with upside. | The last news that we have on Cooper was that he's missed practices or been limited in them recently. That doesn't exactly instill confidence in starting someone that you drafted early on and need to rely on. With that being said, Cooper also has to deal with the fact that he's most likely going to be shadowed by newly PAID Jalen Ramsey. With the other options on this team, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Dak look Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb, and Blake Jarwin's way more than Cooper this week. Cooper's not a "must sit" player by any means, but expectations need to be managed going into Sunday Night Football. |
