Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Justin Jefferson

Monday, December 2, 8:57 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three passes (on three targets) for 12 yards against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. While the stat line could be better for fantasy football, the Bills hardly threw the football due to constant snowfall and a dominant ground game. Josh Allen attempted 17 passes. Allen did target the veteran receiver near the endzone. Cooper caught the ball near the five-yard line and got stopped by the defense. He lateraled the ball back to Allen who dove in for six points. Cooper's disappointing play this week can be blamed on the weather, but he hasn't met expectations since arriving in Buffalo.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in his team's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. The fifth-year wideout was held to just two receptions and 32 yards during the first two frames as Minnesota's drives stalled near Arizona's red zone. He came alive in the second half, though, commanding another seven targets and drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. His highlight of the day was a 30-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards on the season -- making him just the fourth player in NFL history to amass at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first five seasons. Incredible. Jefferson has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 14. He'll get an Atlanta Falcons squad that gave up an average of 38.3 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position heading into this weekend -- the fifth-most in the NFL.
