Adam Thielen's two best seasons:
2017 - 16 games, 91 receptions, 1276 yards, 4 TD's (14.0 ypc, 0.25 TD/game)
2018 - 16 games, 113 receptions, 1373 yards, 9 TD's (12.15 ypc, 0.56 TD/game)
Amari Cooper's first 16 games in Dallas
2018-2019 - 16 games, 91 receptions, 1346 yards, 11 TD's (14.8 ypc, .69 TD/game)
Conclusion, Cooper has been more productive on a Yards/Catch and TD/game basis. Thielen had more opportunities to catch the ball with 295 targets in 2017 & 2018 - an average of 147.5 targets per season. Meanwhile, Cooper has had only 126 targets in his first 16 games in Dallas. On a per target basis, here is the productivity breakdown:
Theilen
- Yards per Target - 8.98
- Targets per TD - 22.7
Cooper (in Dallas)
- Yards per Target - 10.7
- Targets per TD - 11.5
Cooper clearly leads Thielen in productivity in Yards per target, and he scores twice as often as Thielen when he touches the ball.
I rest my case.
