You rest your case on a bad argumentAdam 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
Cooper (in Dallas)
- Yards per Target - 8.98
- Targets per TD - 22.7
Cooper clearly leads Thielen in productivity in Yards per target, and he scores twice as often as Thielen when he touches the ball.
- Yards per Target - 10.7
- Targets per TD - 11.5
I rest my case.
So Thielen caught more passes and had more yards sharing his targets with Diggs. He also dropped way less passes. Cooper has dropped 10 passes since last year. 7 in his time with the Cowboys. Theilen has dropped 3 (0 this season).
Mind you, Cooper only does well at home. He is average in road games.
