Alright, folks, let’s dive into this whole Amari Cooper “start or sit” dilemma I wrestled with this week. It was a real head-scratcher, and I wanna walk you through how I finally made my call.
The Initial Panic
First off, I scanned the injury reports. Gotta know who’s in, who’s out, right? Cooper was listed as questionable with that nagging hamstring. My gut reaction? Panic! A bum hamstring for a wide receiver is never good news.
Digging Deeper
But I didn’t want to make a knee-jerk decision. So, I started hunting for more info. I checked out a few expert rankings, trying to get a feel for what the “pros” were thinking. Some said start him, some said sit him – totally unhelpful!
Matchup Analysis
Next, I looked at the matchup. Who were the Browns playing? How good is their pass defense? Turns out, they were going up against a team that’s been pretty tough against wide receivers all season. This made me lean towards sitting Cooper, even if he was healthy.
The Weather Factor
Don’t forget the weather! I always check the forecast. Is it gonna be windy? Rainy? Snowy? All that stuff can impact a receiver’s performance. In this case, the weather looked clear, so no help there.
Gut Feeling or a substitute player
The last time, I could consider a subsititute player if I have * I got a good backup,it will be much easier.
The Final Decision
After all that research and a whole lot of pacing around my living room, I finally made my decision. In the end, I didn’t have a good feeling about Cooper’s health. It was a last-minute decision, but that’s fantasy football for you!
