PHI · WR · Age 24
The Eagles' first-round investment in Makai Lemon this offseason reinforces the depth ahead of him rather than clearing a lane, even though training-camp reports had Cooper working with the first unit and drawing targets from Jalen Hurts whenever Smith or Lemon were banged up. His floor is somewhat protected by special-teams value and evident coaching trust, but the receiving role hasn't yet translated into regular-season volume. This remains a low-cost, long-shot dynasty stash: hold if already rostered in deep leagues for the injury-contingent upside, but this isn't a buy target and shouldn't be prioritized in trades over more established roster pieces. Revisit if an injury ahead of him produces a multi-week snap/target bump that outlasts the absence.
Cooper sits at WR6 in a nine-deep room, and the Eagles used a 2026 first-round pick on Makai Lemon, who already occupies a starting slot role — same-position draft capital reinforces rather than opens a path to volume for Cooper.
With six receivers ranked ahead of or near him plus two more depth pieces behind, any offseason addition or healthy-scratch reshuffle could push Cooper further down the game-day rotation.
During 2026 training camp, coverage described Cooper working with the first-team offense and earning targets from Jalen Hurts when Smith and Lemon were sidelined with hamstring injuries, suggesting the staff trusts him above his current depth-chart slot when opportunity opens.
Cooper's reputation for blocking and special-teams work has kept him on the active roster in a crowded room, giving him a stickier floor than a purely speculative depth piece even without a clear receiving role.
