Cooper averages 19.1 yards per target; likely Jets' No. 2 receiver ahead of Mitchell.

Cooper has emerged as a potential star receiver for the Jets after returning from a high-ankle sprain sustained in Week 1. In his first two games back (Weeks 6-7), Cooper posted 6-103-1 on 7 targets against New England and 5-115-1 on 5 targets against Miami, averaging an exceptional 19.1 yards per target across 13 NFL targets. Cooper played 38 snaps and ran 23 routes in Week 7, surpassing Adonai Mitchell (26 snaps, 18 routes) and playing ahead of Mitchell in two-receiver sets. As the 30th overall pick in the 2026 draft, Cooper has the opportunity to overtake Mitchell as the Jets' No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson. The source recommends bidding $9 for true value, up to $18 for desperate need, suggesting significant upside for managers seeking wide receiver depth.
