Amari Cooper

We've heard the hype for Amari Cooper. Is it finally time to buy in?

What more can you say about DeAndre Hopkins? He will end the 2017 fantasy football season as the overall WR1, and he capped off his tremendous season with one of the most incredible touchdown catches in recent memory in Houston’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hopkins was one of fantasy’s biggest disappointments in 2016 when he finished as the overall WR36, but he has rebounded in a big way in 2017.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Randall Cobb @ Dallas CowboysThis game should be a shootout thanks to two really bad secondaries. Randall Cobb has seen 25 targets in three games this year. That number would’ve been higher if the Packers threw the ball more than 26 times last week. This week, it’s far less likely that…
