Who Should I Start? Darius Cooper or Beaux Collins

Saturday, September 13, 12:53 AM

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper failed to get any targets in the opening game of the season against the Cowboys. While Cooper did have a solid preseason showing against the Bengals, he was bound to struggle for looks in the regular season with the amount of talent surrounding him. He is currently listed as the fifth wideout on the Philly depth chart and was on the field for only two offensive snaps in Week 1. In an upcoming faceoff against the Chiefs, this undrafted rookie will likely have a similar workload. Cooper isn't worth looking at in fantasy for Week 2.

New York Giants wide receiver Beaux Collins has the potential to go from undrafted free agent to impact player, Bucky Brooks of NFL.com observes. The former Clemson and Notre Dame wideout made the Giants' 53-man roster after a "spectacular" showing in offseason workouts and training camp. While Collins only caught one pass during the preseason, he made it count on an 80-yard hookup with current starting quarterback Russell Wilson. Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton are locked in as the Giants' top three receivers, but Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski haven't offered much production. That could open the door for Collins to emerge as the team's fourth WR sometime during his rookie season.
