From the article

In his two games since returning from injury, Cooper is fantasy's WR3, and at some point, you have to take it seriously. Among wideouts with at least 10 targets this season, Cooper is averaging nearly a full yard more per route run than the next-closest player. While Cooper's snap share was lighter in Week 7 (64%, compared to 83% in Week 6), he led the wide receiver room in targets for a second consecutive game.

Positive signalBreakout

Cooper's WR3 finish in two games and elite yards-per-route run establish real role.

In his two games since returning from injury, Cooper is fantasy's WR3. Among wideouts with at least 10 targets this season, he is averaging nearly a full yard more per route run than the next-closest player. While his snap share dipped to 64% in Week 7 (from 83% in Week 6), he led the wide receiver room in targets for a second consecutive game. His efficiency metrics are likely to regress, but he has a very real role going forward.
