00:03 - Let's go.
00:04 All right, let's get to another guy on the list.
00:06 Now this last one here is a little surprising
00:09 because I know a lot of people are always going to point
00:10 to the same thing, which is, well, you know,
00:11 the splits of home road last year were so bad
00:13 for Amari Cooper.
00:14 Now you're getting Deshaun Watson back in this game.
00:16 And I know the Colts from a secondary standpoint
00:20 have not been great this year.
00:21 I think we could all agree on that.
00:23 But do you have enough faith
00:24 in the returning Deshaun Watson's health,
00:26 enough faith in the matchup,
00:28 enough faith in the time that they haven't been
00:30 on the field together these last few weeks
00:31 that Amari Cooper is the way to get back into this business?
00:34 Because I see a lot of downsides.
00:36 So you gotta show me some of the upside to Cooper.
00:39 - All right, well, let's start with the fact
00:42 that you're being a little bit too kind
00:44 to the Colts secondary.
00:45 So let's get with the wheel here.
00:47 Fifth most fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers.
00:51 Both of their starting outside corners today,
00:53 Juju Brinson and Jalon Jones,
00:55 101 and 136 passer rating allowed in their coverage.
00:59 They have not just been a little bit
01:00 below the Mendoza line.
01:02 They have been struggling.
01:03 They're about to get sent down.
01:05 It has been bad, man.
01:06 And for everybody out there, yes, I do know baseball too.
01:09 But with Amari Cooper,
01:11 it ain't gonna work in a few baseball references.
01:13 - That's why, dude.
01:15 - We know where the ball is going.
01:17 Deshaun Watson knows this today.
01:20 If I want to come out and have a good day
01:21 against this Indy secondary,
01:22 it's not going to be trying to throw the ball
01:24 to Elijah Moore.
01:26 It's not going to be pretending to throw the ball
01:28 because he doesn't really do that to David and Joku.
01:30 It's going to be feeding Amari Cooper.
01:34 PJ Walker knew this last week in a tougher matchup
01:36 against the San Francisco 49ers.
01:38 What did Cooper do versus that secondary?
01:40 Today, he has a monster outing.
