Aaron Glenn and the Jets are showing through their actions how they really feel about Omar Cooper Jr., suggesting diminished confidence or role in the organization.

Given Cooper's depth chart slide and loss of reps, the source recommends targeting other WRs at his ADP who possess a higher floor until more clarity emerges on his status.

Cooper, a first-round rookie WR expected to contribute to the Jets' turnaround, is losing ground as their WR2 to Adonai Mitchell and has also lost reps to Isaiah Williams, potentially leading to a slide down the depth chart.

Despite going late in drafts, Ammirante flags Omar Cooper Jr. as a rookie to avoid because he has gotten off to a slow start in camp and is reportedly fourth on the depth chart behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and Isaiah Williams. This depth chart positioning is a poor sign for a rookie and likely to result in a slow start to the season. Ammirante emphasizes the importance of making every pick count in all formats—shallow redrafts, best ball tournaments, and deeper leagues—and would rather stash Adonai Mitchell, who is showing terrific rapport with QB Geno Smith.

Omar Cooper Jr. ranks seventh in consensus dynasty rookie draft rankings at WR5 (best rank 7, worst rank 10, average 8.7, standard deviation 1.3); ECR trails ADP by 2 spots, indicating the market has overvalued him relative to expert consensus.

Multiple sources raising concerns about the rookie's role and potential disappointing decision by the Jets regarding his usage; recent worries suggest uncertainty around his offensive role and roster positioning.

Cooper is a slot-based receiver who is tough as any prospect coming into the league with strong hands and tough-to-tackle open-space ability; he can be incredibly useful to the Jets offense but would need to unseat AD Mitchell for outside receiver snaps to get enough playing time to be on the fantasy radar.

Brett Whitefield expresses significant concern regarding Omar Cooper Jr.'s usage, noting he was on the field for the Jets' sixth offensive drive in the preseason, which is historically late for a first-round rookie. Whitefield views it as a major red flag if Cooper cannot beat out Isaiah Williams for a starting role and advises dynasty managers to consider moving on.
