Cooper was inactive in Week 13 due to a concussion and ankle injury. He sat out Wednesday and Thursday practice with an ankle injury, and was a limited participant on Friday. He was viewed as a true game-time decision, and his pre-game workout apparently went well.
Fantasy impact: Cooper could be on a pitch count against the Chiefs, with Michael Crabtree likely the more prominent target in the Raiders offense. However, the Chiefs have given up the second most fantasy point per game to wide receivers this season. Their secondary is a problem, and Marcus Peters’ suspension only further diminishes the unit. Expectations should be tempered by the potential pitch count, but he is a solid low-end WR3 or flex start.
