Who Should I Start? Xavier Weaver or Darius Cooper

Friday, September 13, 10:09 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (oblique) is officially questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The undrafted rookie wideout is still looking to make his NFL debut, and he has a chance to do so this week after logging three straight limited practice sessions. Weaver performed well in Arizona's preseason finale, reeling in 2-of-4 targets for 56 yards. He also handled two punt and kickoff returns for an additional 81 yards. The Colorado product projects to have difficulty finding consistent playing time in the starting WR rotation behind Marvin Harrison Jr, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch -- even when healthy. However, he is someone to monitor regarding his usage on kick returns. If Weaver can gain consistency there, he could be helpful for fantasy managers. Otherwise, he can be safely avoided sans deep dynasty leagues.

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.
