Regardless of trade semantics and value, Cooper will immediately help a receiver room that's struggled to consistently gain separation. Per Next Gen Stats, the Cowboys are dead last in yards of separation at the target point (2.2) while Amari Cooper has done an excellent job getting open when split out wide (3.75 yards of separation) and in the slot (3.86) this year. Dallas would be wise to use Cooper as a movable chess piece in their attack, instead of just playing him strictly as an "X" receiver as they did so frequently with Dez Bryant (85 percent of his routes were out wide from 2015-17). Dak Prescott desperately needs a reliable, explosive target and even though Cooper's production doesn't reflect it -- this has been his best season yet, by far, in Next Gen's separation metrics. Hopefully, Cooper's addition breathes life into Dallas' pass attack that is fourth-from-last in passing yards per game (183.1).
