Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper has played in all five games for the Raiders this season, although you would only think he appeared in two of the games based on his statistics. In two of the Raiders games, Cooper has shown himself to be one of the best wideout in the league, but unfortunately, he has only four catches in the other three games combined.

In order for this offense to work, Cooper has to play a huge role, which he has failed to do on too many occasions this season. The Raiders have gotten good contributions from multiple people in the passing game, but Cooper has to be the first option, which some weeks he looks like he is not even in the team’s game plan.

Cooper has the skill to be a perennial 1,000-yard guy in the NFL, but for some reason, he has been very inconsistent in his fourth season in the league. The Seahawks are banged up in the secondary, which should give Cooper the opportunity to get his season back on the right track on Sunday in London.
