Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Thursday, November 30, 6:35 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs) returned to Thursday's practice after sitting out on Wednesday with a rib injury he sustained in the Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. Cooper is normally rested on Wednesdays, but it's a good sign that he was able to return to the practice field a day later after X-rays showed up negative on his ribs. The 29-year-old could receive a questionable tag on Friday's final Week 13 injury report, but the fact that Cooper practiced on Thursday should mean he's on the right side of questionable. Cooper has only scored twice this year and not since Week 9. Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is still in the concussion protocol, so veteran Joe Flacco could be throwing passes to Cooper this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper has become a low-upside WR3/flex given the team's shaky QB situation without Deshaun Watson (shoulder).

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught 82 passes for 993 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games this season. The third-year pro has remained a fantasy superstar, and he's one of the most consistent fantasy assets in the NFL. St. Brown scored at least 14.2 PPR fantasy points in every game this season, and he has at least 19 fantasy points in six contests. There is never a matchup that warrants considering benching the superstar wideout, so continue to roll with in Week 13, despite facing a defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
