Darius Cooper vs. Jaguars in London — Expanded Role Beckons Amid Receiver Injuries

Darius Cooper enters Week 5 with significant momentum after catching two touchdowns on seven targets against the Rams. With primary wideouts DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown both ruled out due to injuries, Cooper is positioned for elevated playing time on the outside alongside Dontayvion Wicks.

Cooper has capitalized on his red-zone looks with three touchdowns on five catches this year, though his overall target volume remains limited. Our weekly projection lands at approximately 7.1 fantasy points on roughly three receptions for 32 yards, making him a viable deep-league play or risky flex option in London.

Tyler Higbee vs. Bills — High-Scoring Environment Offers Streaming Appeal

Tyler Higbee enters Week 5 healthy and operating in a shared tight end rotation alongside Colby Parkinson. Despite sitting behind Parkinson on the depth chart, Higbee has commanded significant looks lately, logging 13 receptions on 17 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown across his past two games.

Facing Buffalo in an expected shootout at SoFi Stadium, our models project Higbee for roughly 2.8 catches and 30 receiving yards (7.3 fantasy points). While his roster and start rates remain modest, his recent red-zone involvement and target surge make him a viable streaming candidate in deeper fantasy leagues.
