Every player in the league has weeks where they do do well and weeks they do bad, but one player especially has had the epitamy of an up and down season. It all started week one when Cooper put up a below satisfactory 2.80 Fan Pts after being targeted only 3 times, however he followed his underwhelming performance with a huge week two scoring 21.60 Fan Pts after 10 receptions and 116 yards. This week like any big week from any player in the league ensiles hope into fantasy owners nation wide. However, the love for Cooper wouldn't last long. In week three, Cooper couldn't get open and put up and embarrassing 3.70 Fan Pts after only catching 2 balls for 17 yards. After such a tough first three weeks most fantasy owners started doubting Cooper, rightfully so. However, in Amari Cooper fashion he cam back big in week 4 dropping a monster 26.80 Fan Pts catching 8 passes for 128 and even scoring his first touch down of the year. If the first 4 weeks didn't confuse fantasy owners enough Cooper went on to score a collective 2 Fan Pts. in the next 3 weeks combined. This led to Cooper getting the traded form Oakland to the Dallas Cowboys. This proved to be beneficially for Cooper has is production level started to increase over the next few weeks, climaxing this past week when he scored a season high 38.00 Fan Pts after receiving 8 balls for 180 yard and scoring two touchdowns. I am not a gambling man but if i was I would bet the house that Cooper does what he does best in his week 13 match up against the Saints, and that is underperform and disappoint fantasy owners nation wide. Prediction 6.80 points 3 receptions 40 yards

James Conner, running back for the Steelers, has had season that only he may have expected to have. With Steeler's star running back Le'Veon Bell, continuing to hold out as a result of this being his contract season, Conner has done nothing but reaped the benefits. Through 9 weeks, James Conner is ranked 5th overall in Fan Pt. which is a result of him rushing for 850 yards while scoring 9 Touchdowns in just 9 weeks. However, this young running back may find himself back on the bench with Bell scheduled to return for the Steeler's week ten match up against the Panthers. However, most analysis still believe that at least for the Carolina game, Conner will be the number 1, while Bell is working in touches trying to get back in stride of things. this is evident in Conner's projections for the next two weeks, next week Connor is projected for 22.02 Fan Pts. while Bell is only projected 9.12, while the following week when he Steelers playing the Jacksonville Jaguars, Conner is only projected 9.89 Fan Pts. while Bell is projected 15.52. It will be interesting to see how the Steelers handle their surplus of talent at the running back position in the weeks to come. If there is one thing that we do know even if Conner takes a back seat to bell, he proved his worth in the weeks where he played and because of this i could see Connor being a force in the NFL if not on the Steelers then on any team that would take him. |
