Fantasy Football players were left scrambling on Thursday afternoon, after now former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper suddenly announced his retirement, ending a decade long career hours before the start of a new season.

Players will not have to find his replacement in a depleted field of players with no easily identifiable players emerging.

Cooper trended as high as #2 on X.
