Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Diontae Johnson

Wednesday, December 6, 2:08 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (concussion/ribs) is not practicing on Wednesday. The veteran exited the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after taking a big hit and was evaluated for a concussion and rib injury. Although there's no update on whether he could play in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, his absence from practice to begin the week is not a good sign. If he can't play, Elijah Moore will become an appealing flex option. Moore saw 12 targets in his first game with Joe Flacco, so his upside might be higher than it was with previous quarterbacks. The Jaguars have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in four of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He found the end zone on a 2-yard pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the fourth quarter after Kenny Pickett (ankle) exited with an injury. Although Johnson tied for the team-lead in targets, he was out-gained by fellow wideout George Pickens. He has been held to fewer than five receptions in four straight contests and will be difficult to trust as anything more than a flex option against the New England Patriots next week.
