Cooper appearing on this week’s injury reports sheds some light on his disappointing one-catch performance last week in his second game in Buffalo. He played right around half of the Bills’ offensive snaps last Sunday and watched as rookie WR Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir led the way for the passing attack. The expectation has been for Cooper’s route participation and snap shares to increase gradually as he became more familiar with the offense, but any kind of injury – especially one causing him to miss practice outright – will throw a wrench in that progression as he gets up to speed. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report the rest of the week and into the weekend ahead of this weekend’s matchup against the Dolphins. Should Cooper miss, things would likely look similar to Buffalo’s time without Cooper in the offense. Shakir would operate as Buffalo’s de facto WR1, while Coleman would likely be in line for an increased number of looks than before – though Buffalo has been committed to the run this season and might look to keep that going against a run-funnel Miami defense that’s been stout against the pass. It’s early, so Cooper fantasy managers shouldn’t be panicking just yet, but this does appear to be a new injury for the recently acquired veteran.
