"Yeah, of course. I mean, I think that's why they traded for me, definitely ready for an increased role, definitely ready for more opportunities," the Bills wideout said Thursday, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. "I'm ready to pounce on it."
In Week 7, on a short week following the trade from Cleveland, Cooper played just 18 snaps, per Next Gen Stats, catching four of five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown, all coming in the second half, with a drop.
"I thought he did a good job responding," Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. "Obviously, that first catch, he's going to want back, but did a good job not letting that kind of breed mistakes, and again, speaks to kind of who he is, and having the trust and made some huge plays in the second half. And obviously you can see the impact it kind of has on the offense."
