Cooper Jr. is a breakout slot receiver with elite yards per route run since returning from injury.

Rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr. has been on a tear since returning from injured reserve in Week 6 after suffering a sprained ankle on his professional debut. He posted six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown against New England and five catches for 115 yards and one touchdown versus Miami. According to Pro Football Focus, Cooper has spent 67.8% of his pass snaps in the slot this season, where seven of his catches (58.3% of his season total) and 188 yards (75.8%) have come from. His 5.37 yards per route run from the slot ranks third among NFL wide receivers with at least six targets on the inside, making him a problem for opposing nickelbacks despite the small sample size from missing four games.
