Pharoh Cooper
WR -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
Pharoh Cooper announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper made the announcement on his Twitter. He caught 61 passes for 545 yards and one touchdown across his career over seven seasons with four different teams.
Pharoh Cooper has been activated from Arizona's practice squad ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the New England Patriots on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper has been on Arizona's practice squad for much of this season, but he will be on the active roster for Monday. He isn't expected to get a lot of work as a receiver, but he could end up being the top return man for this Arizona team. He likely won't have much fantasy value, but he could have a nice impact on the game in real life.
Giants wide receiver Pharoh Cooper was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper has been pressed into action due to multiple injuries to Giants pass catchers and has now been held without a catch in three consecutive games.
Pharoh Cooper rushed for three yards on one attempt and caught one of two targets for six yards.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper should not be considered a fantasy relevant player, Cooper was only targeted because Kadarius Toney was out. Even while Toney is out Cooper shouldn't be considered as a fantasy option in any league formats, unless more Giants wide receivers were to miss time for some reason.
Former Carolina Panthers WR/KR Pharoh Cooper is reportedly signing a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper spent 2020 with the Carolina Panthers, mostly functioning as a punt and kick returner, where he previously excelled enough to earn All-Pro and Pro-Bowl nods with the Rams back in 2017. He will likely be used in a similar fashion in Jacksonville, filling a need on their special teams' units, an area that new head coach Urban Meyer places a great deal of emphasis. Cooper is unlikely to hold relevancy in most fantasy formats but he will have a key role in setting up the Jaguars' offense to start with good field position.
