Who Should I Start? Brycen Tremayne or Darius Cooper

The Carolina Panthers are "bullish" on wide receiver Brycen Tremayne, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Tremayne went undrafted out of Stanford in 2023 and appeared in two games for the Washington Commanders in 2024, but he was able to crack Carolina's 53-man roster out of training camp. The Panthers traded veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday, so Tremayne could now be one of the players Carolina calls upon to replace Thielen's production. The 25-year-old will open the season behind Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Xavier Legette in the team's wide receiver pecking order, leaving him to battle with David Moore and Jimmy Horn Jr. for the WR4 role in Carolina.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper recorded his first career stats this past week against the Dallas Cowboys, catching both of his targets for a total of seven yards. The undrafted rookie had his second-most snaps in a game this season, being on the field for 13 offensive plays. While these still aren't numbers that jump off the stat sheet, it does show that Cooper has the potential to see some more looks over the course of the final six games of the regular season. He's played with the first team and has some trust from Jalen Hurts. And now with DeVonta Smith on the injury report, this could be the perfect storm for Cooper to show more of what he has to offer. Hopes shouldn't get too high, as he's still not worthy of a fantasy roster spot, but it will be interesting to watch how Cooper gets involved the rest of the way.
