COOKs or Amari

Postby XmasVaca15 » Tue Oct 03, 2017 6:51 pm

Thinking of offering Cooks for Amari...thoughts? I know Amari is down but I’m also scared where cooks will end up next year.

I'd rather have Cooks. He will be in NE next year as they picked up his 5th year option

At this point, Cooks > Amari. Until the dropsies stop and Cooper gets a little more aggressive, give me Cooks.

I think they equal each other, but if push comes to shove give me Amari. Theoretically, I don't think he's reached his ceiling yet. On the other hand, I think Cooks has reached his- 1000-1200 yds, 3-6 TDs per year BOOM or BUST type. Amari still has the tools to be a top 5 WR in the league, whether or not he puts it together is a cause for concern.

Well Cooks had 9 and 8 TDs in the past two years, also closer to the top end of your range with 1138 and 1173 yards. He's half a year older than Cooper so I'm unsure what your basis is for saying Cooks has reached his ceiling but Cooper hasn't. What we know, rather than speculate, is that Cooks has outscored Cooper in the two years Cooper has been in the league and is on pace to far outscore him this year.

I'd take amari over cooks if it weren't for His start to this season. I still think amari puts up the better career, unless Cooks turns into Brady's favorite target. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay Cooks his for his second contract or not.

This is pretty close for me, but I want to believe in Cooper.

Close. I lean Cooks.

OP said he was concerned about where Cooks will be next season. He is under contract in NE through next season, so don't be too concerned.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

Cooper. Classic overreaction.. Perfect buy low window.

He's going to get volume in that offence and he was a top 5 draft pick with proven success over two years.

Cooks is great too, but I'd like to believe in Amari still.
