Omar Cooper fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

Omar Cooper (WR, NYJ) is #167 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 141.2 with a 129-point projection. Verdict: Overrated Round 1 prospect on projected bottom-5 offense. I never understood the top-25 love. Cooper was out-produced by Elijah Sarratt over the past two seasons, and he wasn't a high-end recruit or early declare, so the analytical profile was underwhelming. On film, Cooper did break some crazy tackles as a primary underneath/slot player, but he wasn't a stand out route runner or ball winner.

I never understood the top-25 love. Cooper was out-produced by Elijah Sarratt over the past two seasons, and he wasn't a high-end recruit or early declare, so the analytical profile was underwhelming. On film, Cooper did break some crazy tackles as a primary underneath/slot player, but he wasn't a stand out route runner or ball winner. He isn't going to get as many manufactured touches while battling with real No. 1 receiver Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, and 1st-round TE Kenyon Sadiq. On top of that, the Jets are coached by stagnant OC Frank Reich. It's a lot to overcome in half PPR best ball with Geno Smith coming off his worst season of the decade. The Raiders didn't have a top-50 receiver in fantasy football last year.
