From the article

There have been calls for Darius Cooper to play more. And not just from me! He's the team's best blocking receiver and he was coming off a career receiving performance in Week 5. And how was he rewarded? With the fifth-most snaps of any pass-catcher and just two targets, the same amount as Elijah Moore and Carson Steele.

Negative signalRole

Cooper underutilized with two targets despite strong Week 5 and McKee rapport.

Despite being the team's best blocking receiver and coming off a career receiving performance in Week 5, Darius Cooper was rewarded with the fifth-most snaps of any pass-catcher and just two targets—the same as Elijah Moore and Carson Steele—despite having worked well with Tanner McKee in the past and with Smith and Wicks playing through injuries; the source criticizes the coaching staff for not getting one of their more inspiring offensive options more involved.
