The Bills made a big splash this week by acquiring Amari Cooper ($5,800) from the Browns along with a 2025 sixth-round pick in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 seventh-rounder. Cooper should be a huge upgrade for the Bills at wide receiver and is expected to make his Buffalo debut in Week 7 vs. the Titans, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.
Unlike other receivers looking for a trade, Cooper played all the games this season for the Browns, strugging to 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns through six games for an average of 10.2 fantasy points per game.
Last season, Cooper showed he still has a high ceiling, posting a career-high 1,250 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. He really thrived after Deshaun Watson ($4,900) was replaced by Joe Flacco. Watson and Cooper just never seemed to click, and most of the Browns’ offense just hasn’t clicked overall this year.
With a fresh start in Buffalo and Josh Allen ($7,500) getting him the ball, Cooper will have an extremely high ceiling the rest of the season. He is at least a WR2 this week with WR1 upside the rest of the way.
Since he just arrived with the team midweek, Cooper may not be in for a full workload just yet, but he definitely has great upside for a receiver under $6,000 in DFS contests, like the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
If he does make his debut as expected, he will likely take targets and upside from Khalil Shakir ($6,000), Keon Coleman ($5,400) and Dalton Kincaid ($5,000).
Cooper and the Bills are 9.5-point favorites at home against the Titans with the over/under set at 41 points. Cooper is +135 to score a touchdown in his Bills’ debut.
