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.

Efton Chism III Has Yet to Establish a Role in the Patriots Passing Game

Saturday, September 26, 6:58 PM

Across two games in 2026, New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III has recorded one catch for -2 yards on one target. With star Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) currently on Injured Reserve with a high-ankle sprain, New England is in desperate need of impact pass-catching talent. However, Chism III still appears to be buried on the team's wide receiver depth chart. In the team's first full game without Brown in Week 2, Chism III played fewer offensive snaps than Pats wideouts Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams. Barring another injury or two in the New England wide receiver room, Chism III should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
