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.

Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston at NYJ: Big-play rookie looks to stay hot

Rookie wideout Denzel Boston has established himself as Cleveland's premier downfield weapon alongside Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion Jr. Boston leads all rookie receivers with 284 yards through four games, averaging a staggering 21.8 yards per catch. Healthy and operating as a primary starter for the 3-1 Browns, he continues to command high-leverage looks from Deshaun Watson.

Rostered in 94% of leagues, Boston's fantasy appeal continues to rise. Our models project him for roughly 4 receptions, 57 receiving yards, and nearly 7 targets (11.6 fantasy points). While a low-scoring defensive environment against the Jets poses some resistance, his explosive playmaking ability keeps him firmly in play as a high-upside WR3 or flex option.
