Darius Cooper Worth Stashing Amid Philadelphia's Receiver Injuries

Saturday, October 24, 6:40 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper could offer short-term fantasy value heading into Monday night's Week 7 matchup against Dallas. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missed practice Thursday and Friday, while tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) also remained sidelined. Cooper has recorded four receiving touchdowns this season, including three across Weeks 4 and 5, but has caught just eight passes overall and managed one reception for nine yards last week. If Philadelphia's injuries persist, Cooper could see increased playing time and additional targets. Ranked WR88 by RotoBaller for Week 7, he remains a speculative stash for deeper fantasy leagues.

Germie Bernard Emerging as a Fantasy WR2 Against Saints

Friday, October 23, 5:22 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard broke out with 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets last week and should remain heavily involved in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. With Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), Roman Wilson (finger), and Ben Skowronek (calf) all inactive, Bernard and veteran teammate DK Metcalf were the only wide receivers to receive a target from quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week. That concentrated target share should continue against a Saints defense allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Bernard or were fortunate enough to claim him off waivers can feel confident starting the rookie as a low-end WR2 in Paris on Sunday.
