Cooper Kupp News
Tuesday, June 23, 5:25 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp played in 16 games in 2025, but his 593 receiving yards were the lowest since his 2018 sophomore season, in which he missed eight games after tearing his ACL halfway through. His first season in Seattle also marked his first 16-game campaign since winning the receiving Triple Crown in 2021, but even without succumbing to the injuries that have slowed him of late, the ninth-year veteran has seen a notable decline in his ability to separate or add meaningful production after the catch. Heading into his 10th season at 33 years old, Kupp remains an important complementary piece for Seattle behind Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but that real-life importance is unlikely to translate to fantasy outside of the occasional best-ball spike week, and the two-time Super Bowl champion is RotoBaller's WR72 for 2026.

Omar Cooper Jr. News
Sunday, May 31, 8:49 AM
When the New York Jets traded back into the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall pick, they landed a versatile wide receiver with some of the best tackle-breaking ability in the class. While Cooper no doubt has the talents to make an immediate impact on an NFL field, dynasty managers spending a later first-round rookie pick on him may need to exercise patience to see that impact consistently translate to fantasy success. While New York's offense is trending in the right direction, the operation will be run in 2026 by a soon-to-be-35-year-old Geno Smith, whose 34.1 QBR in 2025 ranked 31st out of all qualified starting quarterbacks. After missing 10 games with a knee sprain, Garrett Wilson and his career 9.1 targets per game are expected back and healthy, and with the Jets spending the 16th pick of the draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq, Cooper faces direct competition for the short-area, middle-of-the-field looks that made him so valuable to Indiana's National Title-winning offense. Cooper has fantasy-friendly tools and could eventually be used as the Jets' version of a Deebo Samuel Sr. or Rashee Rice, but as RotoBaller's rookie WR5, he projects as more of a long-term investment than the players going ahead of him in rookie drafts.
