Yahoo Fantasy Football on Omar Cooper Jr.
From the article
He caught a 48-yarder in Week 6 against the Patriots and then a 52-yarder and a 60-yarder in Week 7. Importantly, he's also caught 11 total passes on 12 targets these past two games ... while Garrett Wilson has just six catches on nine targets. Cooper is absolutely worth adding on waivers — if he's still available — or you can try to acquire him before the price gets too high.
STACKED’s take
Cooper's 11 catches on 12 targets in two weeks and 100+ yard streak warrant waiver priority.
Omar Cooper Jr., a Jets rookie receiver, is flashing explosive upside after two consecutive big games. Following one 30-yard catch in the season opener and four games on injured reserve, Cooper has posted 100+ yards and a touchdown in consecutive weeks (Week 6 and 7). He caught a 48-yarder in Week 6 against the Patriots and then a 52-yarder and 60-yarder in Week 7. Importantly, he's caught 11 total passes on 12 targets over these two games while Garrett Wilson has just six catches on nine targets. The source notes that when Wilson draws the defense's toughest matchups or double-teams, Cooper is freed up to thrive against lesser coverage. While hesitant to buy all the way in after just two games, the source calls Cooper absolutely worth adding on waivers or acquiring before his price rises, pending confirmation that the target share shift holds.
