Ryan Flournoy vs. Buccaneers — Deep-League Option in a Favorable Home Matchup

Flournoy operates as the primary slot receiver in the Dallas passing attack alongside perimeter targets CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. With reserve wideout Jonathan Mingo questionable due to an illness, Flournoy should maintain his rotational involvement after commanding 13 targets over his past two outings.

Facing a winless Buccaneers squad in what projects as a high-scoring home contest, our models forecast him for approximately 3 receptions and 34 receiving yards (7.7 fantasy points). Rostered in only 7% of fantasy leagues and started in just 2%, he remains strictly a deep-league stash or desperation flex rather than a trustworthy starter in standard formats.

Outlook Darius Cooper

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.
