Omar Cooper Jr. Questionable to Play in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 1:47 PM

New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The Jets' top receivers are all questionable with injuries this weekend, as Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Adonai Mitchell (knee) are also on the injury report and iffy to play. Wilson, who did not play in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion, is very close to clearing the league's concussion protocol and is expected to return on Sunday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. All three of Wilson, Cooper, and Mitchell were able to practice in full on Friday, so they should all be on the right side of questionable and eventually cleared to play this weekend. The 22-year-old Cooper, who has already spent time on Injured Reserve in his rookie campaign due to an ankle injury, had 11 catches on 12 targets for 218 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games back, but he laid a donut for fantasy managers in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders when Mitchell returned from a finger injury. He bounced back with eight receptions for 58 yards on a season-high 11 targets in the loss to the Chiefs, but fantasy managers should be knocking him down a few pegs in the flex rankings in Week 10 against Buffalo with Wilson expected to be back. Cooper should be viewed as a boom/bust WR4/flex, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 40 WR for Week 10.

Reggie Virgil News

Reggie Virgil Has Little Utility Despite Expanded Role

Friday, November 13, 4:20 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Reggie Virgil could see his role continue to expand with Michael Wilson (neck) on injured reserve. After riding the pine for the first four games of the season, then seeing seven targets spread over Weeks 5 through 8, the rookie had four targets last week with Kendrick Bourne (leg) out of service. The extra work resulted in just one catch for 25 yards, however. In Week 10, Virgil's potential will be capped in a meeting with the Rams. Los Angeles is allowing the fifth-fewest PPR points per game and could get cornerback Trent McDuffie (back) back from injury. Additionally, Arizona will be rolling out an untested rookie at starting quarterback, as Carson Beck will be making his regular-season debut. Virgil is projected as a WR5 and should only be used by fantasy managers in deep leagues who are dealing with big roster gaps with four NFL teams on bye.
