A.J. Brown at Chicago — Primed for Heavy Target Share in Projected Shootout

Brown enters Thursday night with no injury designation after logging a full practice, officially putting his ankle troubles behind him. While his Week 6 return was marred by drops (three catches on 10 targets), he immediately logged an 82% snap share. With Romeo Doubs placed on injured reserve, Brown is the primary focal point of New England's passing attack.

In a matchup boasting shootout potential, our projections peg Brown for roughly 4.4 receptions, 64 yards, and 13.5 fantasy points. His start rate has surged back to 76%, and fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a high-upside WR2.

Outlook Omar Cooper

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.
