Last week, Darius Cooper finished as the WR13 for the week as he secured two touchdowns. Cooper had a 25.9% target share with 33 receiving yards (1.18 YPRR) and a 27.8% first-read share. Cooper had three red zone targets and two deep targets. Some of Cooper's high-volume usage could be related to the fact that Dontayvion Wicks was dealing with Trent McDuffie for more than half of the game. Cooper only had to deal with McDuffie for 25% of his routes. Cooper is an interesting deeper league flex this week. In three of the Jags' four games, they have utilized two-high with 56.7-56.9% of their defensive snaps. Against two-high, Cooper has had a massive 28% target-per-route run rate in his limited playing time with 1.44 YPRR. The Jags have only given up one receiving touchdown to perimeter wide receivers while surrendering the tenth-most yards per target to the position. Cooper is a desperation flex that could pay off this week.

Darius Cooper hauls in two touchdowns in loss Sunday

Darius Cooper hauled in 3-of-7 targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper was one of the lone bright spots on Philadelphia's offense on Sunday. He caught both of the team's passing touchdowns against the Rams, although he was only able to rack up 33 yards in the process. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be a good fantasy option moving forward, however, especially with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) set to make his return to the lineup at some point.
