Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Drake London

Friday, March 29, 9:23 PM

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns may focus on a new contract for wide receiver Amari Cooper. "We love him," said general manager Andrew Berry while addressing the topic at league meetings. "So players like that, you want to make sure that you can retain as long as possible, and we'll work through all of that at the appropriate times." Cabot believes both sides won't enter talks until after the NFL draft. But Cleveland could look to make something happen soon, considering the cost for wideouts is expected to increase. Cooper, entering the final year of his current deal, amassed a career-high 1,250 receiving yards with 72 catches and five touchdowns. He also averaged 17.4 yards per catch. The Browns added Jerry Jeudy in a trade from Denver. However, Cooper should still remain involved at a high level, especially if Deshaun Watson (shoulder) can return to form.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London continued his inconsistent campaign during Sunday's regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. The second-year wideout hauled in four of his nine targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was a perfect example of how the 2023 season has gone for London. The young wideout shows he has the skills to be an impactful player, but the below average performances by his quarterbacks continues to hold him back. London finishes the season with 69 receptions for 905 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The hope is that his value will go up once the Falcons get an upgrade at the quarterback spot. For now, London should be treated as a WR3 heading into next season.
