Cooper did not see a single target in a 38-33 loss to the Raiders, while Adonai Mitchell popped off on nine targets and Garrett Wilson saw 12. He just was not earning targets. Unfortunately, this will likely be the name of the game for the WR2s behind Wilson in New York.

Positive signalRole

Cooper's zero targets signal unreliable usage behind Wilson in NY.

Cooper's two-game breakout appears to be a flash in the pan after he did not see a single target in a 38-33 loss to the Raiders in Week 8, while Adonai Mitchell popped off on nine targets and Garrett Wilson saw 12. Oddly, Cooper ran 26 routes (matching Mitchell exactly), so the issue was not playing time but earning targets. The source notes this will likely be the name of the game for WR2s behind Wilson in New York, with usage rotating between Cooper, Mitchell, and eventually Kenyon Sadiq. While Cooper still has upside (especially since rookies tend to gain momentum in the second half), he is not a reliable fantasy play.
