2023 Fantasy Outlook
Unbothered by playing most of the season with the mediocre Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback, Cooper enjoyed a rebound season in 2022 after a slow finish to his three-and-a-half-year tenure in Dallas. Nine touchdowns represented a career high, with 132 targets tying his previous best and 1,160 yards marking his second most. Cooper has never quite been the high-end WR1 many expected when the Raiders made him the fourth overall pick in 2015, but he does have six 1,000-yard campaigns in nine years and has never scored fewer than five touchdowns in a season. One concern from last year is that he actually put up better numbers with Brissett than with Deshaun Watson, though it didn't help that four of the six Watson games were December/January home contests in Cleveland, where wind tends to be a bigger factor than in any NFL locale. The Browns have other weapons in TE David Njoku, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones and offseason addition Elijah Moore, but only Moore has shown potential to threaten the volume of someone like Cooper ... and Moore is coming off a complete bust of a second season in New York. The greater concern is that Watson didn't look like his old self last year. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Quiet in postseason loss
Cooper recorded four receptions on five targets for 59 yards in Saturday's 45-14 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Cooper missed the final two games of the regular season with a heel injury, but he managed to retake the field for the wild-card round matchup. He wasn't particularly impactful, finishing third on the team in yards and fourth in receptions. While it was something of a sour ending to the season for Cooper, he posted a career-best 1,250 yards receiving yards in the regular season and has surpassed 1,000 yards in four of his last five campaigns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to stick in Cleveland
Cooper is an extension candidate this offseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Cooper is set to hit free agency at the close of the 2024 season and would be 31 years old when he hits the open market. The Browns' top priority is to help Deshaun Watson get more comfortable in the offense though, so it would make sense to keep his top target in the mix. Cooper has spent the last two campaigns in Cleveland, and he's topped 70 catches and 1,100 yards on each occasion while combining to tally 14 touchdowns.

2015
Cooper has played seven seasons, missing only five games, and now has been traded twice
prior to turning 28 (which he did in June). He's topped 1,000 yards five times, with no less than
five TDs and no more than eight in any season, but few would describe him as consistent. A
couple years back, that was largely due to a history of mixing a few massive stat lines with a
larger number of duds. The week-to-week inconsistency subsided the last two seasons in
Dallas, but it's hard to frame that as a good thing on the heels of a 2021 campaign where
Cooper largely posted mediocre receiving lines after peaking at 13-139-2 in Week 1. Nagging
injuries might have played a role, though he missed just two games, and he dropped from 8.1
targets per game in 2020 to 6.9 in 2021. A March trade to Cleveland leaves Cooper with less
competition for targets than what he had in Dallas. The Browns hope they won't need a deep
wideout group, with new franchise QB Deshaun Watson backed by a top-10 offensive line and
one of the best backfields in the league. It's a pretty good situation for Cooper, though one with
some risk, especially after his play slipped a bit his final year in Dallas and with Watson facing an 11-game suspension.
