00:03 - Finally, we land on a receiver from the Cleveland Browns
00:06 and people are on the fence, 50 on one side,
00:09 50 on the other.
00:10 Talk to me about the Browns, talk to me about Amari Cooper.
00:14 - Yeah, look, when you have a situation
00:17 where you're going against a very good run front
00:20 in the Tennessee Titans, right?
00:21 And for what it's worth,
00:23 I bet the Titans are only this week,
00:24 it was four and a half, I think now it's three.
00:26 So that number has moved,
00:28 post Nick Chubb injury as it should have.
00:30 So running the football is going to be a challenge,
00:33 I think for the Cleveland Browns.
00:34 I'm not saying they can't do it,
00:36 just saying it's gonna be a challenge.
00:37 So if you look at the splits last year for Amari Cooper
00:40 at home was always much better.
00:41 People could say, well, that's kind of a weird thing,
00:43 but it just was.
00:44 So let's play the splits.
00:46 Let's look at Amari Cooper, just 6,200 on FanDuel.
00:49 And I know Deshaun Watson hasn't played very well,
00:51 but he's just 5,700 on DK.
00:53 That's a cheap wide receiver wanting his offense.
00:55 And Watson might be leaving us a little high and dry.
00:58 Sometimes it might be a situation where we're like,
01:00 ah, you know, Deshaun Watson's rushing the football.
01:02 He doesn't look great again.
01:03 Okay, fine.
01:04 That's all fair.
01:05 But he also played two individual games
01:07 and those games are a little difficult.
01:08 I think this one's a little bit easier situation
01:11 in terms of the secondary he's dealing with.
01:12 So I think there's a little bit more necessity
01:15 for Amari Cooper to work in this game.
01:17 So I don't know exactly how that Cleveland Browns
01:20 backfield is gonna be.
01:21 We all assume it's Jerome Ford.
01:23 Maybe it's more of a mix than we realize.
01:25 But I think the one thing you can count on is Amari Cooper.
01:28 And I do think people are just completely ignoring him
01:31 this week, which makes him fascinating
01:33 'cause we should never ignore wide receiver ones,
01:35 especially in games where they probably have to throw
01:37 the football more,
01:38 and especially when they are so low priced.
01:40 And they are.
01:41 6,200 on FanDuel is ridiculous.
01:43 Also speaking of secondary injuries,
01:45 another reason to love Calvin Ridley this week
01:48 is the secondary injuries to the Houston Texans,
01:51 including Jalen Petrie,
01:52 who's a very talented young safety,
01:54 who's also gonna be out for this game.
01:56 So Trevor Lawrence, Calvin Ridley,
01:59 you wanna talk about a pairing
02:00 that people might not have as much exposure to?
02:03 That's another one to make sure that you are in on.
