Jets WR Omar Cooper has had a quiet start to training camp by most accounts. ESPN's Rich Cimini even suggested on Tuesday that WR Isaiah Williams could pass Cooper on the depth chart. WR coach Shawn Jefferson said Cooper has experienced "little pitfalls ... That's part of being a rookie."
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Unlikely To Help Early
We're not buying Williams playing ahead of Cooper, at least not for the majority of the 2026 season. But it's clear that the rookie is off to a slow start.
WR Adonai Mitchell has continued to impress in camp and looks set to open the year as New York's clear No. 2 WR behind Garrett Wilson.
Cooper still has time to make up ground and become a fantasy factor this season, but he's unlikely to help early.
That makes him a tough pick unless your draft goes 18+ rounds. He's a waiver-wire watchlist candidate in most fantasy leagues.
