Amari Cooper Week 3 Outlook - Giants at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Cooper has had a rough opening two games to the season. His volume market share has been solid but the results haven't been there. Cooper has a 21.5% target share, a 43.2% air-yard share, and a 25.9% first-read share. That all sounds great, right? Well, only 58.8% of that volume has been catchable, and Cooper has turned his catchable volume into 0.31 YPRR and 0.09 fantasy points per route run. The secondary matchup is juicy for Cooper, but the coverage scheme for the Giants could lead to another down week. The Giants have utilized two-high at the fifth-highest rate (53.1%) this season. Against two high, Cooper has only managed an 8.6% target share and an 8.3% first-read share. Unless we see Cleveland change their approach here, Cooper is destined for a third quiet game. Cooper will run about 75% of his routes against Andru Phillips (77.8% catch rate and 79.6 passer rating) and Deonte Banks (63.6% catch rate and 127.1 passer rating).
