Outlook Darius Cooper
Darius Cooper at Commanders — Expanded Opportunity Amid Depleted Receiving Corps
Cooper is set for a substantial bump in playing time with the Eagles severely depleted out wide, as both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks have been ruled out. While Cooper has showcased big-play ability this year with four touchdowns on just nine catches, the offense is adjusting to Tanner McKee under center following Jalen Hurts' move to injured reserve.
That volume boost brings upside, but McKee's presence and an expected low-scoring matchup against Washington keep his floor shaky. Cooper managed just two catches for 26 yards over his last two games, and we project him for roughly 2.6 receptions and 34 yards (7.8 fantasy points). Currently rostered in 13% of leagues and started in 3%, he is best viewed as a risky, touchdown-dependent deep-league flex.
