Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) is listed without an injury designation heading into his team's wild-card round road matchup against the Houston Texans. Cooper had a career day back when these two teams met in Week 16, popping off for 11 catches, 265 yards, and two touchdowns. He will look to repeat the performance on Saturday as the Browns try to advance in the playoffs. The Texans are likely to focus their efforts on slowing Cooper this weekend but the wideout and Joe Flacco have shown excellent rapport together this season, so their efforts may be in vain. Cooper is in play as a top-three DFS option at the receiver position this weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) was able to practice in full on Thursday and was removed from the final injury report for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans. Cooper didn't join the team for practice on Tuesday or Wednesday but said he probably could have played in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 29-year-old was held out of the final two regular season contests after catching 11 passes for a franchise-record 265 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Texans back in Week 16. Those that spend up on him in DFS will be hoping for an encore performance back in Houston for Cleveland's No. 1 wideout. It helps Cleveland's offense that Houston's defensive line is pretty beat up entering this rematch.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Ty Johnson (concussion) will be limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Johnson suffered a concussion in Sunday night's big divisional win over the Miami Dolphins to close out the regular season and will now have to work himself through the league's concussion protocol before being cleared to play this Sunday in the wild-card playoff contest against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a good sign the 26-year-old is limited, but it doesn't mean he'll be active this weekend to serve as RB depth behind James Cook. If active, Johnson has very limited DFS appeal as a change-of-pace option alongside Latavius Murray. Johnson had only 30 carries all year for 132 rushing yards while adding seven catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in 10 games in 2023.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel), who missed the final two games of the regular season with a heel injury, said he's good to go for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans. Cooper said he could have played in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals if he had to. The 29-year-old will be returning to Houston, where he set a franchise record with 265 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his last game played in Week 16. Understandably, Cooper's DraftKings price has fallen after sitting out the last two weeks, which could make him a DFS bargain if he's completely healthy. However, the Texans defense will surely be trying to prevent a repeat of Cooper's Week 16 record-breaking performance. One thing we know: Quarterback Joe Flacco is going to look Cooper's way plenty. UPDATE: Cooper didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (rest/heel) is not practicing on Tuesday heading into the Wild Card matchup with the Houston Texans. The veteran is listed on the injury report with a heel injury, though he's also listed as a veteran rest player. Cooper hasn't played since the Week 16 meeting with Houston when he caught 11 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns. It would be surprising if he sits out the first round of the playoffs, but DFS gamers and playoff fantasy managers should be glued to his practice status throughout the week. Needless to say, he has plenty of upside in his second game against the Texans.
