Amari Cooper, WR, Oakland Raiders

DraftKings Price: $7,200
Projected Points: 19.3

With Odell Beckham rehabbing an ankle injury and not a lock for Week 1, Amari Cooper is our second-highest projected (19.35 points) healthy wide receiver on DraftKings for Week 1.

The Oakland Raiders have an implied team total of 24.25 and are 2.0-point underdogs in their road matchup with the Tennessee Titans. This game also has the highest over/under (50.5 points) on the main slate and should be filled with fantasy goodness.

Targeting players on teams that are underdogs doesn't seem like the smartest move, but for GPP purposes, choosing receivers on teams that might be playing from behind isn't a bad idea. Cooper offers superb upside as an affordable high-end option.
