Darius Cooper in Line For Expanded Role vs. Rams

Saturday, October 3, 2:25 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wideout Darius Cooper is in line for an expanded role in Philly's Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The team will be without their WR1, DeVonta Smith (hamstring), which leaves the door open for Cooper to get more work. Cooper was a training camp standout and earned a spot on the official roster this summer. The 24-year-old enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 in a tough matchup against the Rams. The Rams defense has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards and the third-fewest receptions of 20 yards or more through three games. Even in an expanded role, Cooper should remain out of fantasy lineups in Week 4.

Barion Brown Could Operate as a Starter After Strong Camp

Wednesday, September 9, 7:05 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Barion Brown could get into the starting lineup for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Brown had a strong camp, and he's in the mix for the No. 3 receiver role (and a starting job) after the Saints placed rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve. As it stands, Brown projects as the third receiver behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, although he's also likely behind Juwan Johnson in the pecking order. Nevertheless, the rookie out of LSU caught four passes for 53 yards during the preseason, and he proved that he deserves more opportunities than fellow rookie Bryce Lance. Whether or not Brown's No. 3 receiver role is enough to get him on the fantasy radar remains to be seen, but he is definitely trending up as the Saints look to distribute Tyson's temporarily vacated targets. He's an intriguing player to stash for the first few weeks in 14+ team leagues.
