Omar Cooper Jr. is still available in slightly over 50% of leagues despite posting back-to-back 100-yard games, making him Matthew Berry's number two waiver wire pick of the week.PositiveBreakoutOct 26, 2026
Omar Cooper posted his second straight 100-yard game and is a legit starter. Despite concerns about Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor returning, Cooper maintained a 70% route rate and 53% of slot snaps, running more routes than Mitchell. Matthew Berry notes 'you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube'—Cooper has established himself as a priority in the Saints offense. He's being used creatively, moving inside and outside, and scored a touchdown out of the backfield using the same pylon route concept as JMO. If still available in your league, he needs to be picked up immediately.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
