The Oakland Raiders have ruled out Amari Cooper for their Week 13 matchup with the New York Giants.
Amari Cooper injury update: How to handle Raiders WR vs. Giants
Oakland is decimated at wide receiver for this Sunday.

Cooper is dealing with a concussion and an ankle injury. That kept him out of practice this week, making it an easy call to rule him out Friday. He was already in the midst of a slump before the injury. He ranks 48th among wide receivers in fantasy scoring over the last three weeks.
Making matters worse for Oakland is Michael Crabtree is suspended this week. The means the Raiders will be relying on Johnny Holton and Seth Roberts at wide receiver against New York.
Fantasy Impact: The Giants are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. They also just lost top cornerback Janoris Jenkins, so Roberts is a very tempting fantasy start this week. As for Cooper, there is no certainty he returns in Week 14 as the fantasy playoffs begin.
