Is he someone you would trust as your WR2 week one or wait for him to get a couple games under his belt?

He has the talent, but he plays for the Raiders.
I'd use him at flex, if he were on my team.

Thanks. Just wanted some more opinions because I see the talent and upside but like you said the fact that he plays for the Raiders makes me cautious.

The volume he is going to get alone makes him a WR2.

The entire offense will go through him.

I have him starting in my flex week one (PPR). I do have Hopkins and Cobb as well.

Its between Cooper and Joseph Randel for my flex position. If Randel starts its going to be hard to sit him on my bench with that Dallas O-line blocking for him.

I am starting him at WR2. Like t was said, the entire offense should run through him and I believe they will create ways to get home the ball regularly.

Grabbed him in the 5th to play as my flex. Too much upside here. Carr looked decent last year with no one to throw to.

In a PPR league he will be great. His receptions are going to make up for him not getting in the end zone. Carr kept screwing up td opportunities the other day. I may get Sabastion Janakowski though. He will be booting tons of field goals.

Im in a standard scoring two QB league so I wont get PPR but I also feel the same that they will find ways to get him the ball and the offense will run through him. Just don't know if they will figure it out week one. I picked him up in the 7th round but like i said if randle starts in dallas it would be hard for me not to start him in the flex with that O-Line.

By all appearances cooper is a stud and already a polished route runner with great hands


There's always a risk with unknown commodities, but randle at best will be playing in a committee where the hot hand gets the heavier load

That's best case scenario for him until Dunbar and/or McFadden get hurt, start really sucking or get cut

I took him in the 6th of a 10 team PPR League. I have him as my WR3. I think he's going to be a stud. I even made a side bet with a guy who drafted right before me and took Allen Robinson that Cooper would have more points at the end of the regular season than Robinson for $50.

You will not be able to wait and see with him. He will be picked in most 12 team leagues between 4/5 th round. I never draft a rookie WR this high, but if there was ever one, it would be him. Hard to find fault in his game.

Dude went in the 3rd in my 10 team a few days ago. His style is very similar to Beckham and Brown. Fast and clean in and out of breaks. Those receivers are the new prototype with the rule changes

Granted Carr can get him the football I expect Cooper to be a top 10 receiver at year's end. Yes. Top 10.

Saying that though, it's still hard for me to take him before the 4th when there are proven commodities on the board

He's a year and half away from being a WR stud. Should put up solid numbers this season 1,000 yards 6-7 TDs, but watch the growth the following season.
