Outlook Darius Cooper

Darius Cooper at Washington — TD-dependent option with injuries mounting in Philadelphia's receiver room

Darius Cooper continues to operate as a rotational outside receiver behind Dontayvion Wicks on the depth chart, though both Wicks and DeVonta Smith missed practice early in the week. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, Cooper is now catching passes from Tanner McKee in an Eagles offense that has dropped five straight games.

While Cooper flashed early-season upside with four touchdowns, his opportunities have cooled, totaling just two catches for 26 yards over his last two games. In an NFC East clash with a modest projected game total, our models forecast him for roughly 1.2 receptions and 16 yards, leaving him firmly on fantasy benches outside of the deepest leagues.
