Darius Cooper vs. Cowboys — Big-Play Threat Enters Risky Territory With Backup Quarterback
Darius Cooper has emerged as an improbable big-play and red-zone weapon with four touchdowns on the year, but his target volume remains razor-thin. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve, Cooper will be catching passes from backup Tanner McKee in a divisional clash with Dallas. Cooper remains listed behind Dontayvion Wicks on the perimeter, operating primarily as a rotational deep threat.
Roster rates have climbed to 20%, but fantasy managers are largely keeping him benched for good reason. Our weekly projection pegs Cooper for just 1.2 receptions and 15.9 yards (about 3.6 fantasy points). In an offense facing a defensive battle with a modest 44-point game total, Cooper is purely a touchdown-or-bust flyer who belongs on fantasy benches in standard leagues.

Outlook Rashee Rice
Rashee Rice at Seattle: Status uncertain as hamstring and knee issues linger
Rice is officially listed as questionable for Sunday night's matchup in Seattle after missing Week 6 due to lingering hamstring and knee issues. While he remains Kansas City's primary slot weapon alongside Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce in Patrick Mahomes' offense, he has not played a full game since early October. Be sure to check back often for the latest news on his availability.
With our models currently projecting zero fantasy points and his start rate plunging to 16%, Rice belongs on fantasy benches this week. Even if cleared prior to kickoff, soft-tissue injuries bring immense volatility, making him far too risky to trust without confirmation of an unrestricted role in this road matchup against the Seahawks.
