Cooper replaced DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and posted a 79% route share with two touchdowns. The rookie played 89% of snaps in 11 personnel but just 18% in 12 personnel. However, the source notes he is an annual training camp star who won't offer a consistent solution and likely won't see consistent target volume if Smith misses more time.PositiveUsageOct 5, 2026
Cooper played 90% of snaps and 79% of routes with 7 targets for 105 yards (28% target share, 51% air yards share). He leads the Eagles in air yards share and maintains an elite role in the passing game.PositiveRoleOct 5, 2026
With DeVonta Smith out due to hamstring injury, Cooper became a verifiable red-zone weapon for Philadelphia in Week 4, recording two touchdowns.

The source suggests if adding one of these pass catchers, Cooper would likely be the choice and probably the cheapest. The source suggests 2 percent FAAB.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Cooper, a second-year undrafted free agent from Tarleton State, has drawn rave reviews at times during Philadelphia's training camp and could end up being legitimate competition for the starting WR spot by the end of camp, though the Eagles' investment in Dontayvion Wicks (fifth- and sixth-round picks) gives Wicks significant runway.PositiveUsageAug 22, 2026
Cooper, an undrafted rookie who made the Eagles roster last year with a nine-catch regular season, is now battling for a roster spot in Philadelphia's remade WR room. Injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring), Makai Lemon (hamstring), Elijah Moore (neck), and Britain Covey (hamstring) should open the door for him to see a hefty snap share Saturday. He led the team in targets (five) and receiving yards (21) during Philadelphia's preseason opener.NegativeDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
