Who Should I Start? Kameron Johnson or Darius Cooper

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson has failed to capitalize on new opportunities with his teammates injured. The second-year receiver has just four catches in 2025, and all four of them came in one game. Outside of that anomalous contest, he has two targets and zero receptions. Johnson played just nine percent of the snaps last Sunday against Buffalo, primarily contributing on special teams. He has 16 kick returns for 394 yards this season, plus 17 punt returns for an additional 219 yards. It has been a bit surprising to see Johnson remain in a depth role despite injuries to his teammates. Chris Godwin (leg), Mike Evans (collarbone), and Jalen McMillan (neck) have all missed significant time, but it hasn't created much of an increase in opportunities for Johnson. Godwin could return this week against the Los Angeles Rams, which would figure to knock down Johnson's involvement even further. He can be dropped in most fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper last week logged his lowest snap count since returning from injury, getting on the field for just three plays against the Detroit Lions. Now past the halfway mark of the season, it's seeming more and more likely that Cooper will not see any catches before the 2025 campaign has ended. Even when the receivers above him on the depth chart have been sidelined or had rough games, Cooper has not gotten his opportunities. He should continue to be left off of fantasy rosters as Philly faces the Cowboys this weekend.
