Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Rashod Bateman

Buffalo Bills Amari Cooper (back) remains a part-time player in this offense. Since he arrived in Buffalo midseason, his highest snap share is 54%. He's been below 50% in half of his games. That leads to dreadful stat lines like one catch for 10 yards in Week 16 and the goose egg in Week 15. The veteran almost exclusively lines up outside, where he could see a lot of star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II. At least the back issue landing him on the injury report isn't a big deal. He's fully practiced this week and doesn't have an injury designation heading into the Wild Card matchup.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman came into Saturday's Wild Card game as the number-one receiver with Zay Flowers (knee) inactive and got in on the scoring action to help beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his third career postseason game, Bateman finished with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown on two targets. His 15-yard touchdown started off all of the scoring in the first quarter when Lamar Jackson found him going over the middle in the end zone. That was also Bateman's first postseason touchdown in his four-year career. He'll look to find the end zone again in the divisional round against either the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans.
