Omar Cooper vs MIA at home — Rookie looks to build on electric breakout performance

The rookie wideout earned NFL Rookie of the Week honors after exploding for six receptions, 103 yards, and a score in his return from an ankle injury. Operating as the primary slot receiver alongside Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, Cooper immediately displayed dangerous run-after-catch playmaking ability.

His roster rate surged near 70% following the breakout, though only 20% of managers are actively starting him. Our weekly projection anticipates a grounded 8.3 fantasy points on roughly three catches for 38 yards in a low-scoring game environment. Against a winless Dolphins squad, he serves as an upside flex option.

Outlook Brenton Strange

Brenton Strange in London — Surging Target Volume Elevates Tight End Value

Operating as Jacksonville's top tight end, Strange has established himself as a trusted target for Trevor Lawrence after securing 14 of 16 passes for 163 yards over his past two outings. That heavy workload sparked a massive surge in fantasy roster rates, jumping up to 71%.

Heading into Sunday's neutral-site London matchup against the Texans, our models project Strange for roughly 3.5 catches, 40 receiving yards, and 9.1 fantasy points. While he hasn't scored since early in the year, his recent eight-target per game floor makes him a dependable streaming start in PPR formats.
