Darius Cooper vs. Dallas — Touchdown-Dependent Sleeper Amid Eagles Injury Woes

Cooper has been an unexpected spark for Philadelphia, converting four of his eight receptions this season into touchdowns. With Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve, Tanner McKee takes over an offense where top wideouts DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks missed practice Friday, potentially opening up rotational opportunities against the Cowboys.

Despite his scoring flair, Cooper's raw volume is minimal after seeing just five targets over the past two weeks. Our models project him for roughly 2 catches and 22 yards, making him a touchdown-dependent deep league play rather than a viable option in standard fantasy lineups.

Outlook Juwan Johnson

Juwan Johnson vs. Steelers: Looking to Rebound from Recent Target Slump

Johnson enters Week 7 fully healthy as New Orleans' lead tight end ahead of Noah Fant, but his recent usage is concerning. After a strong start to the season with three touchdowns, he has cooled off significantly, managing just four receptions for 16 yards over his last two games, including a scoreless, zero-catch outing in Week 6.

Our weekly projection forecasts a moderate bounce back with 3.7 receptions for roughly 39 yards and 9.3 fantasy points in Paris against Pittsburgh. With his fantasy start rate slipping under 40%, fantasy managers should view Johnson as a touchdown-dependent streaming option rather than an automatic lineup lock.
