Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 4

SIT ‘EM

Amari Cooper has been arguably one of the biggest disappointments for wide receivers so far, but the season is still young. Cooper only has 101 receptions to this point and hasn’t scored a touchdown since week one.

Cooper hasn’t been all that impressive, but he will get it going again. It won’t be this week though.

The Redskins held Cooper in check a week ago, limiting him to just one catch for six yards. Fantasy football owners were not happy about that at all. With an even tougher secondary against the Broncos on the agenda this weekend, sitting Cooper wouldn’t be a crazy idea.

Even with Tyrod Taylor‘s big passing game against the Broncos in week three, no receiver had a big game. Taylor was forced to spread the football around more and if Derek Carr has to do the same thing in Denver, then Cooper will be seeing the football less than fantasy owners are expecting.

When looking at Oakland’s weapons, Michael Crabtree has actually been the better option for Carr at this point in the season. Cooper hasn’t been all that impressive, but he will get it going again. It won’t be this week though.
