Omar Cooper Jr. Headshot

It was a tough summer for Jets WR Omar Cooper. He was largely quiet in camp and preseason action and even fell behind WR Isaiah Williams on the depth chart at one point. But The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that Cooper "came on strong at the end of camp."

What They're Saying

Rosenblatt: "It was a slow start to training camp, but he started to show some signs of life by the end. He’ll split time with Williams in the slot and as a gadget player, but his role should grow over time."

2026 Fantasy Football Impact

Cooper won't be an early-season fantasy option and might stay off the radar for his entire rookie campaign. 

But he should be able to put away Williams rather quickly for the No. 3 WR job. And he has the potential to pass WR Adonai Mitchell in the pecking order.

Cooper isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, but his usage and production will bear watching throughout the season. He could become a waiver add at some point.
