Week 6 WR Advanced Stats: What Can the Past Tell Us About the Future for Davante Adams and Amari Cooper?

Following the conclusion of Week 6, the action kept on rolling with the trades of Davante Adams and Amari Cooper on Tuesday. Both wide receivers have been staples in fantasy for the better part of the last decade, and it will be interesting to see how they acclimate to their new surroundings.

Adams joins many of his old teammates from Green Bay in New York, but with the added wrinkle that the Jets already have a WR1 in Garrett Wilson on the roster.

Cooper steps into the WR1 role in Buffalo right off the bat. But it is fair to wonder how effective he will be after Stefon Diggs’ struggles last year following the change in offensive coordinator in Buffalo. On top of that, Cooper has had his own performance issues with the Browns this season, which most have blamed solely on Deshaun Watson (which is probably correct), but there is still a chance that Cooper’s skills could be declining as well.

By the end of the article, we should have a better understanding of what each WR is walking into with their new teams.

Before we get into the latest information available in the Advanced Stats Explorer, just a few quick reminders about the article.

  • Leading up to the season, I looked at the five years of data available in the Advanced Stats Explorer and broke it down into four separate articles: Routes and Targets, Intended Air Yards, Yards After the Catch and Evasion, and Catchable Targets, Drops, First Downs, and Touchdowns.
  • When working through the five-year sample, we found that the 90th percentile and above generally included most of the top-24 wide receivers for each metric in any given season. The 75th percentile and above included the top 55 to 60 WRs in any given metric per season. Given that these two cohorts easily apply to a normal 12-team fantasy league, they will be referenced often throughout the article.

In Week 6, the total number of players who earned at least one target during the 2024 season grew to 182 after our Week 5 sample included 173 players.

Week 6 Monday Review: As Rookie QB Week Comes to a Close, the Results Range from Excellent to Inconclusive

In his Wrong Read series, Blair Andrews labeled Week 6 “Rookie QB Week,” and with good reason.
