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

  18H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  I'm expecting Garrett Wilson to get back on track this week after two down games in a row against New England and Miami where he combined for six catches for 70 yards and no touchdowns on nine targets. Wilson remains a must-start Fantasy receiver in all leagues, but Cooper is also worth using in two-receiver leagues against the Raiders. While Wilson has struggled, Cooper has thrived against the Patriots and Dolphins with a combined 11 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets. The Raiders have allowed a pair of receivers to score at least 11 PPR points in three of their past four games, with Tyquan Thornton and Xavier Worthy in Week 4, Demario Douglas and Kyle Williams in Week 5, and Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir in Week 6. Wilson and Cooper should both do well in this matchup.

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

  4D 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.

  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

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  9D 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.
