Omar Cooper — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Omar Cooper is a wide receiver on the New York Jets with a projection that clears triple digits at 122.2 half-PPR points. For a late-roster target, that headline number gives him a real floor to build a case around. He lands at WR39 and #90 overall, sitting in Tier 9 of the rankings. His draftValue of -6.5 puts him just below replacement level at the position, which means the case for rostering him is not about surplus value in the abstract. It is about what he can become in a best-case season. His p90 outcome of 196.1 points is the number that keeps him on the radar. That ceiling is meaningful for a player available this deep in a draft.

What the model projects

The projection for Cooper is 122.2 half-PPR fantasy points. He is ranked WR39 and #90 overall, with a draftValue of -6.5, placing him just below the replacement-level threshold for wide receivers in a 12-team half-PPR format. His Tier 9 designation reflects that standing. The median simulated season lands at 120.0 points, which tracks closely with the point estimate, suggesting the projection is not being pulled upward by outlier upside scenarios.

The range of outcomes

Cooper's outcome band is wide. At the low end, a bottom-10% season produces just 47.9 points, a number that would make him a roster liability. The 25th percentile comes in at 80.8 points, still a difficult return on a roster spot. The median sits at 120.0 points. From there, the upside opens up: the 75th percentile is 155.0 points and the 90th percentile reaches 196.1 points. The spread from p10 to p90 runs nearly 150 points, which signals high variance. Cooper is a player whose season can go in very different directions, and drafters should enter with that range clearly in mind. His bye falls in Week 13.

How to draft him

Cooper does not have a consistent enough presence across public draft platforms to produce a market ADP, so there is no consensus pick number to anchor to. In practice, that means he is likely available in the final rounds of most drafts or going undrafted entirely. At WR39 and #90 overall with a draftValue of -6.5, he profiles as a depth add rather than a core piece. His value is in the upside tail: if his season trends toward the 75th or 90th percentile, he can contribute. Roster him as a high-variance stash on a team that can afford the risk at the back end of a draft.

The projection is 122.2 half-PPR fantasy points, with a median simulated season of 120.0 points. He ranks WR39 and #90 overall in the rankings.

His 90th-percentile simulated season comes in at 196.1 half-PPR points. His 75th percentile is 155.0 points. Those are the outcomes that make him worth a late-draft look, though his 10th-percentile outcome is just 47.9 points, so the range is wide.

His draftValue of -6.5 places him just below replacement level at wide receiver in a 12-team half-PPR format. He is a depth option, not a core piece. The argument for rostering him rests on his ceiling, not his baseline projection.

There is no market ADP available for Cooper, meaning he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. He is likely available in the final rounds or as an undrafted free agent in most 2026 drafts.
