Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Carson Steele

Friday, January 10, 4:15 PM

Buffalo Bills Amari Cooper (back) remains a part-time player in this offense. Since he arrived in Buffalo midseason, his highest snap share is 54%. He's been below 50% in half of his games. That leads to dreadful stat lines like one catch for 10 yards in Week 16 and the goose egg in Week 15. The veteran almost exclusively lines up outside, where he could see a lot of star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II. At least the back issue landing him on the injury report isn't a big deal. He's fully practiced this week and doesn't have an injury designation heading into the Wild Card matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele handled eight carries for 25 yards and two catches for two yards in the 0-38 loss to the Denver Broncos. Steele was the clear lead back for the Chiefs, but he could not do much with his opportunities. The rookie out of UCLA stepped into the lead role with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt ruled out for this game. Steele averaged just 3.1 yards per carry, but no other Chief carried the ball multiple times in this contest. The next time the Chiefs suit up will be against the winner of the wild card matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans. Steele will likely be relegated to his RB3 role when the Chiefs play their next game.
