Fantasy football managers who have Cleveland Browns receiver Amari Cooper rejoiced on Sunday thanks to Cooper earning them a boatload of points with a monster game against the Texans.

Cooper totaled 265 yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches in Cleveland’s blowout win. He officially broke the Browns’ single game receiving yards record. His total yardage was also the most in an NFL game so far this season. Cooper also joined Terrell Owens as becoming the only other NFL player to hold a 200-plus yard single game with three different teams.

Quarterback Joe Flacco connected with Cooper in the first quarter on a 75–yard touchdown pass. Cooper later scored his other touchdown in the third quarter.

The 29-year-old’s dominant performance provided any fantasy football players who had him on their team with a big advantage, especially since most leagues are in the semifinals. 

Social media reactions were split as people with Cooper on their fantasy team were happy with the receiver’s performance. The ones who faced Cooper in fantasy this week, however, accepted their fate with a likely loss.
