Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Malik Nabers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper told Kevin Patra of NFL.com that he still has "some juice left" and that signing with the Raiders will allow him to show it. Cooper signed a one-year deal with Las Vegas on Tuesday. The 31-year-old recorded 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns across 14 games split between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in 2024. However, before 2025, Cooper had reached 1,000 receiving yards in five of the six previous seasons. He should slot in as the WR2 in Las Vegas next to Jakobi Meyers, although Cooper may eventually be surpassed by rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech. As a late-round flier, Cooper could end up being a solid depth piece for fantasy managers.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) said the back issue that caused him to miss the team's final two preseason games was a "minor thing" and he'll be ready for Week 1, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Nabers also missed time during training camp due to a shoulder issue and has been nursing a toe injury since his college days at LSU. However, Raanan writes that Nabers does not expect his ailments to prevent him from being himself when the season begins. The 22-year-old averaged 11.3 targets per game as a rookie in 2024 and should be among the league leaders in target share once again in 2025. As long as he stays on the field, Nabers is a clear WR1 in fantasy with overall WR1 upside in PPR-scoring formats.
