Amari Cooper…trouble ahead — in a few weeks, and for a few years? San Diego cornerback Jason Verrett has become a shutdown corner. He locked down Allen Robinson in Week 2, and pretty well squashed Jeremy Maclin Week 1 – and Verrett was showing shutdown skills last season. Verrett has arrived. Which means the AFC West now features Jason Verrett, Marcus Peters, and Aqib Talib…three of the best corners in the NFL, all in one division – and Amari Cooper has them on the schedule six times this year (five for regular fantasy, including FF-playoffs). Cooper will face each of these foes over the next seven weeks – Week 5 (SD), Week 6 (KC), Week 9 (DEN). You may consider cashing out ‘high’ ahead of that, in a redraft format. You may want to consider targeting Michael Crabtree as a way to play that stretch. Having a WR1 (Cooper) who is a shaky start for nearly 50% of the middle of the fantasy season is going to be frustrating. Additional note – Amari and Derek Carr are going to be saddled with this schedule nuisance…for what? A couple of years ahead? I love Cooper, but I wish he didn’t have this cloud hanging over his head in a few weeks, or for the next few years in Dynasty.

Those DBs are legit. Verrett is the only one that shadows though. Gonna come down to Cooper having to step up his game, Crabtree showing up, Waldorf etc. More weapons the more those DBs have to work

Benji does get those NFC south teams, so that's a positive. Each one has a good CB, too, though (pending Breaux health)
