Who Should I Start? Ja'Lynn Polk or Darius Cooper

Saturday, September 13, 12:44 PM

The New Orleans Saints are acquiring wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) and a 2028 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots for a 2027 sixth-round pick, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Polk is currently on season-ending Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue, so this is a future-focused move for New Orleans. A second-round pick in 2024, Polk recorded just 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games for New England as a rookie. He'll now get a chance at a fresh start with the Saints.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the New York Giants. Cooper has been sidelined since suffering this shoulder injury in Week 3 during their contest against the Rams. The undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State has yet to catch a pass in his debut campaign, but could be in store for a larger role this afternoon with top wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive. During the first three games, Cooper logged just 20 total snaps, with the majority of them coming in Week 2. He should not be targeted in any DFS competitions this afternoon, given his minimal role in the offense.
