Darius Cooper in London vs. Jaguars — End-Zone Threat Eyes Expanded Role

Cooper has emerged as an unexpected scoring threat for Philadelphia, turning three of his five catches into touchdowns this season, highlighted by a two-touchdown performance against the Rams. With starting receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks both managing hamstring issues, Cooper is positioned for an expanded snap share.

Our weekly projection tabs Cooper for 7.1 fantasy points on roughly three to four targets and 32 yards. While his roster rate has surged to 14%, his weekly floor remains low in a projected defensive battle with a 41.5-point total, leaving him as a speculative deep-league flex play.
