Darius Cooper Looking to Build on Red-Zone Touchdown Surge in London
Darius Cooper broke out with two touchdowns on seven targets against the Rams, flashing impressive contested-catch ability with Jalen Hurts. Operating in Philadelphia's receiver rotation behind Dontayvion Wicks, Cooper could see a noticeable uptick in routes in London against Jacksonville if DeVonta Smith is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
His fantasy value is currently riding high on extreme red-zone efficiency, turning three of his five receptions this year into scores. Our weekly projection slots him for around 2.6 catches and 33 receiving yards (7.4 fantasy points), making him an intriguing deep-league flex dart throw rather than a reliable weekly starter.

Austin Ekeler vs. Giants — Minimal Workload Caps Fantasy Value
Austin Ekeler recently rejoined Washington after rehabbing a torn Achilles, making his season debut last week with four carries and a target. While it is encouraging to see the veteran back on the field, he currently fills a minor rotational role in the offense rather than seeing meaningful volume.
For Week 5 against the Giants, Ekeler is strictly a bench option across standard fantasy leagues. Our weekly projection expects around 4.5 fantasy points across three to four carries and roughly one or two targets. With a start rate sitting near one percent, fantasy managers should keep him benched until his workload significantly expands.
