In Week 9, New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. was heavily involved in the passing game, hauling in eight receptions on 11 targets for 58 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The outing was a significant bounce-back for Cooper, who had been completely absent from the offensive game plan in Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, recording zero targets. Prior to that, he had posted consecutive 100-yard performances, making his production pattern difficult to predict.
Cooper's increased role in Week 9 was likely aided by the absence of fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Despite the inconsistency, his overall body of work—three strong showings in his first four full NFL games—suggests he can be trusted as a borderline WR3/4 option.
Key Analysis
Fantasy analysts view Cooper as a strong flex play at minimum for Week 10 when the Jets take on the Buffalo Bills. His target share in Week 9 indicates he remains a key part of the offense when called upon.
