Who Should I Start? Jonathan Mingo or Darius Cooper

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday but designated him for a return, which means that Mingo will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after missing the first four games. The 24-year-old wideout is still recovering from a PCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered in the middle of August in a preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. The earliest that Mingo would be able to make his 2025 debut would be in Week 5 on Oct. 5 against the New York Jets. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are Dallas' top two receivers, and with Mingo now sidelined at least four games, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin will battle it out for WR3 duties. Neither Tolbert nor Turpin will really be rosterable in 12-team fantasy leagues unless one of Lamb or Pickens miss time with an injury.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper did not record any stats in a 33-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper also saw a decrease in snaps, being on the field for only six offensive plays in Week 3 after playing 12 the previous game. The undrafted rookie will have to wait another week before hopefully making his first catch of the season. Cooper is still not an option for fantasy lineups as he lines up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.
