Amari Cooper fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Amari Cooper for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Amari Cooper is a smart start in fantasy football this week as the Cleveland Browns face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Despite a disappointing Week 1 performance, in which he managed only two catches for 16 yards, Cooper saw a significant amount of target volume, with nine passes thrown his way. His 95% snap share indicates that he is firmly entrenched as a critical component of the Browns offense, suggesting his involvement is unlikely to diminish.
Even with a poor stat line, such high usage signals that Cooper remains a primary receiving option and is poised for a bounce-back performance.

The matchup against the Jaguars presents a favorable opportunity for Cooper to rebound. The Jaguars pass defense struggled at times last season, and with Cooper's high target share, he is likely to see ample opportunities to exploit any weaknesses.
Cooper's chances of turning his targets into meaningful fantasy production increase as he continues to build chemistry with his quarterback and adjust to game flow.
Therefore, despite his underwhelming Week 1 numbers, Cooper's consistent involvement and promising matchup make him a strong candidate for this week's rebound game. Cooper should be viewed as a safe WR2 with a high upside.
