PositiveSleeperSep 13, 2026Bleeding Green Nation

Darius Cooper has been so good during training camp that everybody in the organization believes he'd be able to contribute if called upon in high-leverage situations. He caught only nine passes last year in limited action but is one of only two WRs on the current team who was there last year (along with DeVonta Smith) and one of only two younger than 25 (along with Makai Lemon). His strong summer performance suggests he could emerge as a reliable option.
