Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Chuba Hubbard

Sunday, September 15, 5:54 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three of his eight targets for 11 yards in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. It was another quiet outing for Cooper, who struggled with drops for the second consecutive contest. Cooper tied for the team lead in targets but was vastly outproduced by Jerry Jeudy, who went for 73 yards on five catches. Overall, the veteran wideout has just five catches for 27 yards through the first two games of the season. With Cooper struggling and with Deshaun Watson taking a liking to Jeudy in the passing game, fantasy managers should downgrade him to a WR4 heading into a Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball ten times for 64 yards in the team's 26-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Hubbard also caught four of his five targets for an additional 12 yards through the air. Hubbard was the lone bright spot in Carolina's offense today, putting together a solid fantasy outing despite the negative game script in another lopsided loss. He also out carried RB Miles Sanders ten to seven, confirming that he will continue to see most of the work between the two moving forward. While practically every member of the Panthers offense can be benched in lineups moving forward, Hubbard looks to be the exception. Fantasy managers can include him as a RB2/3 option in Week 3 when the Panthers face the Las Vegas Raiders.
