2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cooper was on pace for 77 catches, 1,351 yards and four touchdowns last season at the time of Deshaun Watson's season-ending shoulder injury. The veteran wideout then managed only 84 yards over the next three games, including one he left early with a concussion, before exploding for 451 yards and three TDs in Weeks 14-16 while repeatedly connecting with QB Joe Flacco downfield. Cooper finished with career highs for receiving yards (1,250), yards per game (83.3) and yards per catch (17.4), though he missed the final two weeks of the regular season with a heel injury and was held to 59 yards in one playoff game. He's reached 1,000 yards seven times in nine seasons, never scoring more than nine TDs or less than five. One might even call him consistent, even though he had a reputation for week-to-week inconsistency during his time with the Raiders (2015-18) and perhaps part of his tenure in Dallas (2018-21). Cooper turns 30 this summer and will once again inhabit an offense led by Watson and head coach Kevin Stefanski. Confidence in Watson is generally waning, but Cooper did account for 23.6 percent of Watson's targets and a whopping 43.0 percent of his yardage last year, hauling in 28 of 39 passes for 480 yards and two TDs. The chemistry with every other pass catcher may have been off, but that does create some hope that Cooper can have another productive year even if Watson never rediscovers his Houston form.

Struggles again
Cooper recorded three receptions on eight targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Deshaun Watson has looked Cooper's way consistently in the first two weeks of the season, with Cooper earning a combined 17 targets. However, the duo have yet to get on the same page, and Cooper has amassed only five receptions for 26 total yards as a result. That inefficiency will make him difficult to trust in the immediate future, particularly because Watson has displayed better rapport with Jerry Jeudy.

Unbothered by playing most of the season with the mediocre Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback, Cooper enjoyed a rebound season in 2022 after a slow finish to his three-and-a-half-year tenure in Dallas. Nine touchdowns represented a career high, with 132 targets tying his previous best and 1,160 yards marking his second most. Cooper has never quite been the high-end WR1 many expected when the Raiders made him the fourth overall pick in 2015, but he does have six 1,000-yard campaigns in nine years and has never scored fewer than five touchdowns in a season. One concern from last year is that he actually put up better numbers with Brissett than with Deshaun Watson, though it didn't help that four of the six Watson games were December/January home contests in Cleveland, where wind tends to be a bigger factor than in any NFL locale. The Browns have other weapons in TE David Njoku, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones and offseason addition Elijah Moore, but only Moore has shown potential to threaten the volume of someone like Cooper ... and Moore is coming off a complete bust of a second season in New York. The greater concern is that Watson didn't look like his old self last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be headed west
Cooper could be part of a Brandon Aiyuk trade with the 49ers, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
San Francisco has let some teams speak to Aiyuk's agent about a new contract extension ahead of any potential trade, but if the wideout can work out terms with the Browns, it appears as though Cooper would head the other way. The 30-year-old established a new career high with 1,250 receiving yards last season in only 15 regular-season games, and while a trade to the 49ers' potent offense could allow him to top that mark, Cooper would have a lot of competition for targets from Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and others.
