Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for WRs

Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season is absolutely loaded with wide receiver options to use in starting lineups. A full slate of 16 games is scheduled with all 32 NFL teams in action, so it's important for managers to carefully narrow down the long list of available players this week. For those debating between Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper, here's which one is a better pick.

Is Keenan Allen a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen has been inconsistent during the 2024 fantasy football season in his first year with the Chicago Bears. The usually dominant wide receiver has finished among the top ten weekly wide receivers just three times this season, but two of them have come in his past three games.

This means he has been trending in the right direction lately and it comes just in time for a favorable Week 15 matchup. The Minnesota Vikings allow the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, making Allen an intriguing option to use.

Is Amari Cooper a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper has appeared in just five games since being tarded to the Buffalo Bills, but he has flashed his upside in one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL. He has finished as the WR24 and WR12 in two of those games and set season-highs with 14 targets and 95 receiving yards last week.

Cooper finally appears to be fully healthy and has adjusted to his role with his new team. This is excellent timing for his Week 15 fantasy outlook as he is set to take on the Detroit Lions in what is expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week.

Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper: Who should I start in Week 15 fantasy football?

Who Should I Start

Keenan Allen is the recommended wide receiver over Amari Cooper in Week 15. While both veterans have favorable matchups this week, Allen's recent form gives him the edge.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that the two of them will have similar outputs this week, but Allen is projected to score nearly an additional fantasy point in PPR scoring formats. He is expected to record more receptions, which makes up for Cooper being projected to record more yards.
