Cooper 2018 receiving yards On one hand Kelechi Osemele Jersey , wide receiver Amari Cooper is coming off his worst season in the NFL. On the other handhead coach Jon Gruden expects Cooper to be the “main vein” in the Raiders offense. Despite his top receiver status, the over/under odds for his 2018 regular season receiving yards don’t have him cracking the 1000-yard mark.BetDSI Sportsbook recently put out their odds and they have Amari Cooper with an over 975 yards (-125) and under 975 yards (-105). What this means is that if you bet $100 Cooper hits the 975-yard mark and he does, you would make $25 back on your original $100 investment. On the flip side, if you wager $100 Cooper misses the mark, you would only make $5 back. This bet means the over is slightly favored, which is odd considering Cooper has already topped 1,000 yards twice in his three-year career with the Silver & Black. Even still, 975 yards is well above Cooper’s 680 receiving yards last year. He spent the season battling through injuries allowing Michael Crabtree to be the featured receiver. With Crabtree in Baltimore Cheap Reggie Nelson Jersey , Cooper is once again the Raiders top option with Jordy Nelson starting across from him. Both should immensely benefit from the coaching switch to Gruden.Raiders release WR Griff Whalen from injured reserve with injury settlement, but he could still return It’s been a busy few days for Griff Whalen. Once considered “neck and neck” for the slot receiver job in Oakland, he suffered a turf toe injury in the third preseason game that ended those hopes. In the past three days, Whalen was waived, cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve, and was released from IR with an injury settlement. He is officially no longer with the team.For that matter neither is Ryan Switzer with whom Whalen was supposed to be in that heated battle for the slot receiver job. In the end, that went to Dwayne Harris and potentially Seth Roberts as well.As fro Whalen, his time as a Raider isn’t necessarily over. Should the team like him http://www.raiderscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-marshawn-lynch-jersey , there is a chance he could be back.The way injury settlements work is a player and the team agree to a payout based on how long the player is expected to be injured. After that time is up, he can sign anywhere, or wait three weeks at which point the Raiders are allowed to re-sign him.For instance, should the injury settlement for just one week, Whalen could be re-signed in a month.You need only look at what happened with James Cowser in 2016. The Raiders released him on an injury settlement on September 10th. By October 4th, he was re-signed to the team’s practice squad and he’s been with the team ever since.Derek Carr raved about Whalen thinking like a quarterback and then Whalen went out and made a nice one-handed touchdown grab against the Rams in week two of the preseason. If the Raiders are as high on him as they say — and considering they signed him as a street free agent prior to the free agent period, they like him more than other teams — this may not be the last of Griff Whalen in a Raiders uniform.Follow @LeviDamien
