Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Deebo Samuel

Thursday, September 28, 6:44 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is coming off his best game of the season as he caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. More importantly, he has practiced fully this week so far after being a regular name on the injury list due to nagging injuries over the first three weeks of the season. He will now gear up to take on the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 4. The Ravens have been a great matchup for receivers thus far, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wideouts through three games. Fantasy gamers can count on Cooper as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 4.

According to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, the 49ers are "optimistic" wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) will play in Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals. The wideout didn't practice throughout the week and remains listed as questionable. However, it appears he at least has a shot of being out there, although fantasy managers may not learn his official status until after the 1 p.m. games commence. Samuel is coming off his best game of the 2023-24 campaign, catching six of his 12 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win over the Giants. Assuming the 27-year-old is cleared in a timely manner, he's a must-start in all formats.
