Amari Cooper (groin) unlikely to play Week 2 vs. Steelers

Amari Cooper officially carries a questionable tag but is not expected to play Monday night against the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper aggravated his groin at practice on Saturday. His status uncertainty leaves fantasy managers in the unenviable position of having to either look elsewhere for Week 2 or have a Monday Night Insurance Policy. Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and David Njoku should all see more work if Cooper does not play.

Fantasy Football Expert Outlook

Elijah Moore: Last week Moore tied Cooper for the team lead in target share (24.1%) while also handling a 20.3% air yard share. Moore was second on the team with a 22.7% first-read share. Moore will match up with Chandon Sullivan (78.9% catch rate and 107.8 passer rating allowed last season) on about 66% of his routes from the slot as a WR3/4. Moore and Cooper were the only wide receivers to see red zone targets in Week 1.
