The Oakland Raiders and Amari Cooper are in a world of hurt as they get set to host the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper has been one of the biggest fantasy football busts thus far.

Despite being projected to be one of the top fantasy wideouts this season, Cooper has been a major disappointment thus far. In four games, the third-year wideout has just 12 catches for 110 yards and one touchdown.
Making matters worse is Derek Carr is out with a back injury for multiple weeks, and EJ Manuel will start in his place. That’s a massive downgrade, even though Cooper has been a ghost regardless of the quarterback.
There’s no question Cooper has been one of the biggest fantasy busts this year.
Fantasy Impact: Cooper will face a Ravens defense allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Between a tough matchup, his slow start, and not having his top quarterback, it’s an easy call to keep Cooper benched in all leagues this week.
