My worries for players like this is after he gets paid will he fall back into his old ways? We've seen this time and again, guys show out to get paid and fall back to earth after they get the money.

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
Maybe it's only me but I seem to remember that the constant excuses for Cooper not producing in Oakland were Carr's inability to get him the football (same excuses people were making for Dez). Now the story is changing that he wasn't producing due to lack of effort but that's changed since he's with the Cowboys? I'm confused...

3. Year 3 - terrible year as the entire team fell apart
4. Year 4 - huge games with Oakland when he received targets and becomes a solid WR1 since Dallas trade
I think we’re making this way more complicated than it needs to be. He was on a great trajectory his first 2 years, had one throwaway year, and then is back to being awesome this year.

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
I feel like no one is arguing with this besides the one Raider fan salty over losing two really good football players in one year. From what’s been previously mentioned by Phaded he absolutely will cool down from a 200 yd 3 td game, but has been producing as a solid WR2 while in Dallas even without this game and is showing the efficiency and targets to do so. If anyone has been watching its clear he’s running spectacular routes, Dallas is using him all over the formation and I would say very effectively, and hasn’t had many drops. I don’t know why you need to add the caveat of “when he cools down” as if its inevitable he becomes a nobody again or struggles. Majority of his years in the NFL hint of him being, or at least evening out as, a high end fantasy WR2/fantastic WR3 and in real life I think he can be a WR1 for Dallas due to the way they prioritize the run game over a dominant #1 WR; which he's shown he can be in stretches anyways. Either way he is enjoyable to watch, seems to be a great guy, and is producing in fantasy so I have no complaints as an owner.Chwf3rd wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 7:41 pm1.

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
I was the Raider fan that thought and believed in Coop, but I honestly think he needed to get out of Oakland. I am not surprised what is happening right now at all, but I honestly think Coop would have continued on being hit and miss in Oakland, it wasn't working. The Raiders got a first rounder, and I am happy with that, because I honestly don't believe the Coop you are seeing in Dallas was suddenly going to pop up in Oakland. Coop needed a fresh start, and it revived his career.alewilliam789 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:38 pmI feel like no one is arguing with this besides the one Raider fan salty over losing two really good football players in one year.

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
I’m a Raiders fan as well and from experience it’s generally pretty safe to bet on players we know are talented rebounding when they leave Oakland. We’ve been either the most or second most (Browns) dysfunctional team in the NFL right now for over a decade.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:42 pmI was the Raider fan that thought and believed in Coop, but I honestly think he needed to get out of Oakland.

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
From a technical standpoint - His 2 knocks were always he couldn't beat press coverage and had a case of the drops(Especially in red zone/end zone)
He's excelled in press coverage since coming to Dallas. His hands have been great since arriving in Dallas. I think he had his first drop with the Cowboys during the end of the game Sunday when he ran a timing route(Button hook) and it surprised him the corner didn't turn. The ball hit him directly in the chest. Honestly first "bad" play I've seen from him since arriving and I'm not even sure I would call it that

Re: Cooper to the Cowboys
I am happy for Amari. Full disclosure, I am a Raider fan, and have his everywhere in my FF world, but it's good to see him do this. Ever the humble person, he said he wanted to prove the Cowboys right, not prove the Raiders wrong. Coop is going to have his down games, but if they continue to feature him, he will continue to have these big games from time to time, he has that type of skillset.Flschbrger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 9:45 pmIt's true.

Lol. Im in the playoffs in all my leagues (3 redraft, 1 dynasty). But sadly I fear I will get bounced in all of them. Got some crazy tough opponents.
