Jets' Omar Cooper: No targets in Week 8
Cooper did not garner a target during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Cooper entered Week 8 having topped 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, so Sunday's performance was especially disappointing. The rookie wideout was overshadowed by Adonai Mitchell (7-142-1) and Garrett Wilson (6-83-0) in the game, and it'll be hard to predict his workload ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Two long catches and TD in Week 7
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: 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: Paces air attack in return
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.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Returning to action Week 6
Cooper (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Cooper will suit up for the first time since Week 1, when he sustained a high-ankle sprain on the Jets' first offensive possession of the season in an eventual win over the Titans. The rookie first-round pick out of Indiana returned to practice this week, turning in a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday and getting activated from injured reserve Saturday. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) out for another week, Cooper could potentially settle in as the Jets' No. 2 receiver Sunday, pushing Tim Patrick down a spot on the depth chart.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Activated from IR
Cooper (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Cooper is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but he's likely to be cleared to play given his activation from IR. The rookie fourth-rounder has missed the Jets' last four games due to an ankle injury, but he could be thrust into a prominent role offensively given the absence of Adonai Mitchell (finger).
