• Jets' Omar Cooper: Two long catches and TD in Week 7

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins. Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

• Jets' Omar Cooper Jr.: Sleepers (Start/Sit)

  It might be hard for Garrett Wilson and Cooper to both play well in Week 7 against Miami since the Dolphins have only allowed three receivers all season to score at least 11.3 PPR points. That's not because Miami has a dominant secondary, but rather because teams run all over the Dolphins. That said, I'm willing to gamble on Cooper as a starter in three-receiver leagues (Wilson remains a must-start Fantasy option) since the rookie just had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 6 at New England. Geno Smith will hopefully continue to feature Cooper, and he has the potential to perform well against what has statistically been a stingy Miami secondary so far.

• Jets' Omar Cooper: Could be set for lesser role

  Cooper may get fewer looks in the passing game Sunday versus Miami with Adonai Mitchell cleared to return from a finger injury, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports. Cooper shined in his return from IR this past Sunday against New England, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. That performance will likely gain him more attention from QB Geno Smith moving forward, but it must also be noted that Cooper's big game came in the absence of Mitchell, who is set to return Sunday following a four-game absence. Both Cooper and Mitchell are likely to remain behind Garrett Wilson in the pecking order, but it will be interesting to see if either Cooper or Mitchell is able to separate himself as the team's No. 2 wideout.

• Jets' Omar Cooper Jr.: Week 7 Waiver Priority List

  8D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Cooper returned from a four-game absence with an ankle injury in Week 6 at New England and made his presence felt with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. He had another touchdown negated by a penalty, and this was impressive from the first-round pick out of Indiana. Now, keep in mind that Garrett Wilson had a down game against the Patriots due to tight coverage from Christian Gonzalez, and Adonai Mitchell (finger) was out. That said, Cooper clearly has the talent to be a productive Fantasy receiver, and he should be added in all leagues for at least 15 percent of your remaining FAAB. I would start him in all three-receiver leagues in Week 7 against Miami.

• Jets' Omar Cooper: Paces air attack in return

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Cooper brought in six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Making his return from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle sprain suffered on the opening possession of the season, Cooper hit the ground running and finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The Indiana product also recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 48-yard strike from Geno Smith early in the third quarter, and his instant production despite the layoff gives his fantasy outlook a significant boost heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins.
