Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Garrett Wilson

Thursday, September 4, 2:14 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper has informed the team that he intends to retire ahead of Week 1, citing a lack of desire to continue playing. Cooper, who joined the Raiders this offseason in hopes of competing for a starting role, was listed behind rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. on the initial depth chart. The five-time Pro Bowler spent last season with the Browns and Bills, starting 10 of 14 games while recording 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns. Cooper leaves the NFL after a decorated career, finishing with over 10,000 receiving yards and 64 touchdowns across stops with the Raiders, Cowboys, Browns, and Bills. His departure opens additional opportunities for Thornton and fellow rookie Jack Bech to carve out meaningful roles in the Raiders' passing game this season.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) was practicing on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 10 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Wilson leads all Jets with 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on the season, despite missing the last two games. Quarterback Justin Fields has struggled to generate yardage in the passing game, but the team will look to build off of their Week 8 win as they return from their bye. Barring a setback, Wilson should be started in all formats as the primary target for Fields, despite facing the Browns' second-ranked defense. Despite the Browns' strong defense, they've allowed 15 passing touchdowns this season, largely due to the offense failing to generate long fields for opposing offenses.
