Omar Cooper Jr.

2026 first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. enters a Jets offense that lacks an established No. 2 option, but the rookie's versatility and run-after-catch ability could help him carve out an immediate role. The former Indiana standout was one of the best YAC receivers in the class and offers inside-outside flexibility that complements Jets WR1 Garrett Wilson well. Opportunity may be limited early with multiple young pass-catchers already in place, but Cooper has a realistic path to earning the No. 2 WR role over time. His fantasy appeal likely hinges more on efficiency and manufactured touches.
