00:00Oh we have breaking news as we are talking. Speaking of the Buffalo Bills needing wide

00:07receiver help, yeah Amari Cooper has been traded to the Buffalo Bills. Just got this alert right

00:15now on my phone so for those who are watching live we are reacting to this in real time. Buffalo

00:21will be sending a third round pick to Cleveland as part of a pick swap according to NFL Network's

00:27Tom Pelissero. So um that is I think honestly I think that is a bigger shift than uh Devontae

00:38Adams going to the Vegas Raiders. Like this is I think a a big move and for Amari Cooper it gets

00:46him out of the situation that we were talking about getting him out of for a really really long

00:52time. Um he is still I think a very high level wide receiver and I think that now from a fantasy

01:00standpoint sky is the limit for this kid. I I think the world of Amari Cooper's talents um again

01:06Raider fan here um so this has been a this has been a time hey um but from a well we'll talk

01:13fantasy in a second I'm just kind of like bouncing all this around. Let's talk first about what this

01:17means for the Buffalo Bills. That was a lot of Curtis Samuel last night against the New York Jets

01:22in big situations. Now you have a guy who is legitimately a again high level wide receiver

01:30that can really help this offense out. I think that we saw over the first five six weeks of the

01:36season with the Buffalo Bills that this was an offense that could put up points when Josh Allen

01:42has the Superman cape on but there are limitations to that and now I think you take a lot of those

01:48limitations away and if uh Shakir comes back all of a sudden he's a number two Keon Coleman's your

01:54number three and Curtis Samuel is your number four. You feel really really good about that

01:59offense and so I think that this really does do a lot of positives for the Buffalo Bills offense

02:08and makes them a real real real contender again in the AFC and like I said I think this will have

02:14more of an impact on the Buffalo Bills than Devonta Adams will have on the on the New York

02:21Jets sorry. I think that Devonta Adams goes in and just it gives you another guy who can make plays

02:26with which the Jets needed but it is still a number two wide receiver. This is a high level playmaker

02:34who is still playing at a high level or still can play at a high level anyway going to the Buffalo

02:38Bills who that was their main area of need. The Jets had a couple of other ones that this was kind

02:43of it not defensively the Bills still need a bit of work but this is a a big move I think to acquire

02:49an Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills so again gigantic move and again from a fantasy standpoint

02:54if you were holding on to Amari Cooper by golly gee what a gigantic win this is for you because

03:01this was a lost season for him out in Cleveland and just an unmitigated disaster and he was not

03:07going to be used properly now he could potentially if he had started the year on Buffalo I wonder how

03:13high he would have been drafted that this makes him a I think extremely valuable fantasy football

03:20commodity and I like you weren't going to be sitting Josh Allen anyway but I do think that

03:25this bumps up Josh Allen a little bit more as a a fantasy football starter and I don't think it

03:31hinders anyone else in this offense um but Curtis Samuel probably if you're owning him anyway odds

03:38are the season wasn't going awesome for you so um but I I do think that there is something there now

03:43with an Amari Cooper that like Khalil Shakir is going to get a little bit less of the attention

03:49and same with Keon Coleman and so I think those guys will kind of continue in the roles that they

03:54have so great great great news I think for Buffalo for the Cleveland Browns um this is

03:59so clearly waving the white flag and honestly getting a third round pick in a pick swap

04:05like it's not going to be a game changer anyway it frees up a little bit of cap space but what

04:09are they going to use cap space for when you are paying Deshaun Watson the amount of money that you

04:13are paying him so it just it at least gets you a lottery ticket and opens up a spot for maybe

04:20someone else to shine um Jerry Judy I think is going to get all the attention now coming out of

04:25this move and I I think that while it feels like maybe he gets a little bit more of the opportunity

04:30I think he gets a lot more of the attention and so I think this is kind of a net negative for him

04:34and also it just makes this offense worse and so I think it's a net negative for kind of everyone

04:39on the Cleveland Browns side of things for fantasy football so a lot going down in the NFL today some

04:47big big big moves in the National Football League
