Fantasy Impact:
With fellow wideout Nelson Agholor sitting due to a hamstring injury, Cooper sparked the Eagles offense when he out-jumped two defenders for a 32-yard touchdown pass from Sam Bradford that tied the score at 7-7- late in the first quarter. Cooper's three catches tied a season-high, while his 76 receiving yards marked a season-high as he also came down with a 43-yard grab on the opening drive on the second half. However, one of Bradford's three interceptions was targeted for Cooper, who broke off a deep route on a clear miscommunication with the QB. Quietly, Cooper has hauled in two touchdowns over his last three games after totaling only three catches over the first three games. Still, he won't be a recommended fantasy play next week when the Eagles take on Carolina.
