Player Outlook
There are some issues that might keep Cooper from being as good as he was in 2022. With Deshaun Watson for six games last season, Cooper averaged 6.5 targets and 11.6 PPR Fantasy points per game, both of which pale in comparison to the 8.5 targets and 16.0 PPR points per game he collected with Jacoby Brissett. Assuming Cooper will just recoup those lost 2.0 targets per game with Watson isn't promised as the Browns added three new targets to their passing game, including intriguing after-catch speedster Elijah Moore and rookie big man Cedric Tillman. On the plus side, Cooper isn't showing any signs of slowing down as his efficiency still ranked high in 2022. Figure him as a Fantasy starter who will deliver some boom weeks but will mostly be a steady, modest contributor. He should get taken around 50th overall.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Seven grabs in win

    Cooper recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans. Cooper was overshadowed by Elijah Moore for much of the day, but he beat the Titans' secondary deep down the field for a 43-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put together a big line. Since a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Bengals, Cooper has 206 yards combined between his last two games. He also has a hold on a key role in the offense, as he's seen at least seven targets in all three of Cleveland's contests to this point.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Clear for Week 3

    Cooper (groin/shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cooper aggravated a groin injury ahead of the Browns' Week 2 road matchup with the Steelers, but he ended up playing and logged a 74 percent snap share on his way to seven catches (on 10 targets) for 90 yards. During Week 3 prep, a shoulder issue has been bothering him in addition to the groin concern, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. Still, Cooper will be able to suit up this weekend and should continue to be quarterback Deshaun Watson's top target in Cleveland's passing game.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Puts in limited practice

    Cooper (groin/shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cooper carried the groin injury into Monday's game in Pittsburgh but proceeded to suit up and play 74 percent of the snaps in the Browns' 26-22 loss. In addition to the groin issue, Cooper is tending to a shoulder injury, though his ability to upgrade from no activity in Wednesday's practice to limited participation a day later is a positive sign. If Cooper can take another step forward by practicing fully Friday, he should be in good position to enter Sunday's game against the Titans minus an injury designation.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Back on field Thursday

    Cooper (groin/shoulder) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Cooper took a questionable tag into this past Monday's game against the Steelers due to the groin injury, but he ultimately played 74 percent of the snaps on offense and finished with seven catches for 90 yards on 10 targets in the Browns' 26-22 loss. The wideout sat out the Browns' first Week 3 practice Wednesday with listed groin and shoulder injuries, but his presence on the field Thursday suggests he didn't suffer any major setbacks coming out of Monday's contest. The Browns will release their second Week 3 practice report later Thursday, at which point it'll become known whether Cooper was a limited or full participant in the session.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: WRs to Start

    Cooper surprised us by even playing Monday night at Pittsburgh after it was reported that he aggravated a groin injury in practice Saturday. And he played well with seven catches for 90 yards on 10 targets. He should build off that performance in Week 3 against the Titans, who are once again struggling against opposing receivers. In two games against the Saints and Chargers, five receivers have scored at least 11.0 PPR points against Tennessee, with four gaining at least 83 yards. We know Cooper loves playing at home, and with a plus-matchup on the docket, he should have the chance for a big outing in Week 3.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Absent from practice

    Cooper isn't practicing Wednesday due to groin and shoulder injuries, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cooper suited up for Monday's 26-22 loss to the Steelers after being listed as questionable with the groin injury and treated as a game-time decision, ultimately running routes on over 80 percent of Deshaun Watson's dropbacks while leading the team in targets (10) and receiving yards (90). An absence from practice Wednesday isn't exactly surprising, nor is the addition of a shoulder injury to his groin issue, but Cooper at least has a good track record of suiting up at less than 100 percent health. He'll try to do it again this Sunday against the Titans.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Cooper secured seven of 10 targets for 90 yards in the Browns' 26-22 loss to the Steelers on Monday night. After surprisingly suiting up despite reaggravating a groin injury in Saturday's practice, Cooper went out and turned in a trademark performance. The veteran recorded team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals, making several impressive catches along the way. Cooper exponentially improved on his modest Week 1 numbers (3-37-0), and he could take on an even bigger role if fears Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Monday night's game are confirmed.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Still considered a game-time call

    Cooper (groin), who is listed as questionable, is going to see how he feels pregame, but there's optimism he'll suit up for Monday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Cooper was considered unlikely to play, but the extra day off must have been beneficial for the wideout. If he suits up, there's a chance Cooper is limited Monday night, so fantasy managers still should proceed with caution. The veteran caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the season-opening win over Cincinnati before aggravating a groin injury he dealt with during training camp.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Likely to sit out Week 2

    Cooper (groin), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers, is considered unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. With Schefter's report coming out just over an hour before the early wave of Sunday games kick off, fantasy managers should have plenty of options available to swap in for Cooper, who looks poised to sit out Monday barring dramatic improvement overnight. Cooper took the questionable tag into the contest after he aggravated a groin injury during Saturday's practice. Assuming Cooper is included among the Browns' inactives when the team releases its list 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Cleveland will get by with wideouts Elijah Moore and Donovan Peoples-Jones and tight end David Njoku as its top pass-catching options.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Aggravates groin injury

    Cooper is questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers after aggravating a groin injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't give much in the way of information, saying, "We will see how it goes over the next 48 hours. It just happened. Don't have enough information to make a determination." Prior to Saturday's practice, Cooper had been a healthy participant in practice all week. The star wideout was one of the featured members of the Browns' passing attack in Week 1, and his absence could be critical in an important divisional matchup come Monday. Expect more information to trickle out in the coming days.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Seven targets in rainy opener

    Cooper caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals. Cooper tied Elijah Moore for the team lead in targets and finished six receiving yards shy of Moore's 43, which led all receivers on either team on a rainy afternoon. In his first season with the Browns last year, Cooper produced his sixth 1,000-yard campaign and scored a career-high nine touchdowns. The veteran wide receiver should remain a key target for QB Deshaun Watson in Week 2 against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Big play in preseason finale

    Cooper recorded one reception on three targets for 53 yards in Saturday's 33-32 preseason loss to the Chiefs. Deshaun Watson looked Cooper's way with deep targets on each of the Browns' first two drives. While both fell incomplete, the duo connected for a long gain in the middle of the first quarter, when Watson extended a play and allowed Cooper to work behind the Chiefs' secondary. This was Cooper's first action of the preseason, and he should enter a Week 1 matchup against the Bengals as the top target in Cleveland's passing attack.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Likely playing Saturday

    Cooper is in line to play to play Saturday against the Chiefs, James Palmer of NFL Networkreports. The Browns' passing attack is expected to get some work in the preseason finale with Deshaun Watson and Elijah Moore also likely to play. It's unclear how long Cooper will end up playing.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Not slated to play Thursday

    Cooper isn't in line to play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Eagles. Joining Cooper as key Cleveland players not slated to see action Thursday are QB Deshaun Watson, RBs Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford (hamstring), TEs David Njoku and Jordan Akins, as well as fellow WRs Elijah Moore (ribs) and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Look for the likes of Cedric Tillman, David Bell, Anthony Schwartz, Mike Harley, Austin Watkins and Jalen Wayne to have opportunities to catch passes in the Browns' third exhibition contest.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Sitting again Friday

    Cooper isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason game against the Commanders, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Cooper also didn't play in last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, so he'll have just two more chances to get some exhibition action before the regular season. With Cooper sidelined, Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cedric Tillman and David Bell, among others, will be the Browns' available wide receivers Friday.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Not in line to play Thursday

    Cooper is among the Browns' key players not in line to see action in Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets, according to Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. Per Easterling, the same applies to fellow WR Elijah Moore as well as TEs David Njoku and, quite possibly, Harrison Bryant. With that in mind, look for the likes of David Bell, Daylen Baldwin, Cedric Tillman, Austin Watkins and potentially Mike Harley (concussion) to catch passes from QBs Kellen Mond and Dorian Thompson-Robinson on Thursday. As long as Cooper can stay healthy, he'll remain entrenched as the Browns' top wideout heading into the coming season.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Practices again

    Cooper (undisclosed) practiced for a second consecutive day Saturday, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports. Unlike Friday's practice, when Cooper participated in individual drills only, the Browns' No. 1 wide receiver was on the field and connected a few times with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Poisal pointed out that Cooper's undisclosed injury was a "minor tweak."

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Back at practice

    Cooper (undisclosed), who had missed four days of practice due to what Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer refers to as "a minor tweak," returned to the field Friday. The report notes that Cooper was limited to individual drills but will likely do a little more Saturday when team drills are on tap. Per Cabot, the Browns' top wideout appeared to be moving well during position drills Friday, which suggests that it shouldn't be long before Cooper is deemed a full practice participant.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: Remains sidelined

    Cooper (undisclosed) is in line to miss a few more days due to what Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer describes as a "minor tweak." Cooper, who participated in a walkthrough on the first day of training camp Saturday before leaving the field Sunday, can thus be considered day-to-day as he manages an unspecified issue. Once he returns to the field, Cooper will step back into his role as the top option in a Cleveland wideout corps that also includes Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Cedric Tillman, among others.

  • Browns' Amari Cooper: On sidelines again

    Cooper (undisclosed) is missing a second straight day of practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Cooper continues to manage an undisclosed tweak sustained Sunday. Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reiterates that the issue is minor, and reports that Cooper has made progress. The wideout doesn't appear in danger of missing significant time, but for now Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cedric Tillman and David Bell will continue seeing increased first-team reps.
