Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper is listed as probable on the team's injury report.
Amari Cooper injury update: Rookie WR ‘probable’ for Raiders, fantasy owners
The Raiders’ top receiver is expected to take the field once again on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Cooper turned heads when he tweaked his quad muscle in Wednesday’s practice, since mid-week injuries don’t usually bode well for a player’s availability for Sunday. However, the rookie phenom put all concern to rest after returning to Thursday’s practice at full capacity and finishing the week without any limitations.
Fantasy impact: Cooper can once again be penned into lineups without any concern, as the rookie has quickly established himself as one of fantasy football’s better receivers amid a season where few skill-position rookies have been able to distinguish themselves. The Raiders’ No. 1 wideout has scored a touchdown in every other game this season and has three 100-yard efforts to his name at the halfway point of the season.
Against the Minnesota Vikings, Cooper remains in fringe WR1/WR2 territory amid a red-hot offense and with emerging star Derek Carr distributing the football.
