00:00All right, let's start with Cooper Cup. I don't know how many earrings he's got, but let's assume

00:04one. Let's just go there. He finishes wide receiver 39 this year in standard leagues and

00:10full-point PPR, where Cooper Cup was a guy that you were, you know, typically coveting. Cooper

00:16Cup, unfortunately, wide receiver 38. It just did not come to fruition for him again. And I think

00:21it's just the toll of the big seasons, really just coming home to roost. And I think what's

00:27going to happen, which is very dangerous, is he's entering his age 32 season. And I'm going to

00:32throw a couple of names at you, right? Okay, O'Leary Cooper. How about DeAndre Hopkins? How

00:39about, let's see, Deontay Johnson, who got kind of moved around a lot. These are wide receivers,

00:45right? That immediately when they went to other teams, everybody started to get excited about

00:49the possibility of what they might be able to do. Or maybe they just need to change the scenery.

00:53I don't think they need to change the scenery. I don't think, I think Cooper Cup, unfortunately,

00:56is going to get a change of scenery. And I think it's going to lull people into a false

01:00sense of security. But if you look at the games played and you look at what he did down the

01:04stretch, which was, you could say, oh, it's just Puka Nakua's emergence as a star. But I think

01:09it's also the decline of Cooper Cup. And I think that's what's being suppressed a little bit in

01:15terms of the story. So I'm looking at Cooper Cup as a guy that I don't think is going to be around

01:19next year. I think they're going to move on from him. I think he's going to end up somewhere else.

01:22There's gonna be a lot of buzz about it. A lot of positive trading camp. We love Cooper Cup and

01:26what he brings to this team. And of course, he's a really great football player and he plays really

01:30hard. I just don't think for fantasy, we should be buying 32-year-old wide receivers at this stage

01:34in their career, especially ones that have had trouble staying on the field the last three

01:38seasons. So for me, I'm out on Cooper Cup in 2025.
