Amari Cooper is one of the most underrated receivers in all of football. Many believe he’s not even top 15. He’s on pace to break his career high in receptions in one of the worst QB situations since week 5. More reasoning below 
Lets start off with comparing Cooper with Keenan Allen, a receiver he gets compared to a lot.
Cooper:
115 Targets
82 Catches
952 Yards
5 TDs
11.6 Y/R
8.3 Y/Tgt
68.0 Y/P
71.3 Catch %
1.7 Drop %
96.0 Passer rating when targeted

Keenan Allen:
147 Targets(+32)
100 Catches(+18)
992 Yards(+40)
8 TDs(+3)
9.9 Y/R (-1.7)
6.7 Y/Tgt (-1.6)
70.9 Y/P (+2.9)

2 Drop %(+0.3)

As you can see, Amari Cooper is much more efficient than Allen, having 32 less targets and only 40 less yards. All with a MUCH worse QB situation this year. He also has less drops, and helps his QB out with a better passer rating when targeted
Another common misconception is that Cooper “disappears” on the road. He’s averaging:
61 Y/P
6 C/P
10.1 Y/C
2 Total TDs
These are not too far off from his stats on the entire season. Not to mention his stats are a little deflated from playing with Ben DiNucci for one game.

All in all, Amari Cooper is at least a top 12 receiver and bonafide star. Hope you enjoyed this thread and learned more about Cooper.
