8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 12
Amari Cooper, WR, Oakland Raiders
FanDuel Price: $7,800
Projected Points: 16.0
With Antonio Brown playing on Thanksgiving, and both Julio Jones and Mike Evans dealing with tough matchups this week, the top-tier wide receiver market is a little thin.
Enter Amari Cooper, who has caught four or more passes in every game this year and has hauled in two touchdown passes over his past three games. He already has four games this season with more than 120 receiving yards, and Cooper has flashed a very high ceiling with a 29.30 point FanDuel performance in Week 8.
In Week 12, he will take on the Carolina Panthers defense that has given up the third-most FanDuel points per game in 2016 to the opposing team's top wide receiver. They have given up at least one touchdown pass to an opposing wide receiver in seven of 10 games this season, and the Panthers have allowed double-digit FanDuel points to every opposing receiver with nine or more targets.
Cooper has lined up on the left side for 58% of his routes this season, which will put him against Daryl Worley, who Pro Football Focus grades as the league's 82nd-best cornerback.
