3. Cooper could cause problems for Eagles

Dating back to last season, Amari Cooper has been an absolute nightmare for the Eagles’ defense, and there’s a good chance the wideout could be in for another strong outing on Sunday if all goes according to plan for the Cowboys.

With the Cowboys in need of a No. 1 wide receiver to make life easier for Dak Prescott, the team made the decision to acquire the former Oakland Raiders star before the deadline, and it certainly didn’t take long for him to fit right in on offense.

While it was impressive to watch Cooper find the end zone during his first career game with Dallas in a loss to the Tennessee Titans, the wideout would really start to make a name for himself over the next few weeks.

Catching eight passes for 180 yards with two touchdowns in a win over the Redskins was impressive, but the biggest game by Cooper in 2018 came in Week 14 when he torched the Eagles with 10 catches for 217 yards with three touchdowns.

Between this strong outing from last year on top of the impressive performance from earlier in the year when he caught five passes for 106 yards, early signs indicate that Cooper will continue being a problem for Philadelphia in Week 16, whether they want to hear it or not.
