Positive signalRole

Cooper's 4 TDs in 5 games (first since Maclin 2014) warrant more targets despite leading team in receiving.

Cooper led the Eagles in receiving for the second straight week with three targets producing two catches for 71 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown reception. He's now up to four touchdowns on seven receptions through five games—the first Eagles WR to reach 4 receiving TDs in the first 5 games since Jeremy Maclin in 2014. Despite his success, four players had more targets than Cooper in this game, indicating he deserves more opportunities and the Eagles need to be more intentional about getting him the ball.
