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 replacement level in the right scenario. His upside band reaches 196.3 half-PPR points at the 90th percentile, which means a strong season is a real possibility, not a fantasy. For drafters building depth late or filling out a roster in the final rounds, Cooper represents a name worth knowing. He carries a bye in Week 13, which is a manageable scheduling note for playoff-week roster construction.

What the model projects

The projection is 122.4 half-PPR fantasy points. That puts Cooper at #91 overall and WR40, landing in Tier 9. His draft value is -5.7, meaning the projection sits just below replacement level at the wide receiver position in a 12-team half-PPR format. The median simulated season comes in at 120.3 points, which tracks closely with the point estimate and signals a relatively centered distribution.

The range of outcomes

The outcome band is wide. At the 10th percentile, simulated seasons bottom out at 48.1 points, a near-zero fantasy contribution. The 25th percentile lands at 81.1 points, still a limited return. The median sits at 120.3 points. From there the upside opens up: the 75th percentile reaches 155.2 points and the 90th percentile climbs to 196.3. That gap between the floor and ceiling is substantial, and it reflects genuine uncertainty about how much Cooper contributes in any given season. Drafters should price in both the downside and the upside before committing a pick.

How to draft him

Cooper does not have a market ADP across public 2026 drafts, which means he is not being selected consistently enough to establish a reliable draft slot. He sits at #91 overall and WR40 in Tier 9 with a draft value of -5.7. At that level he is a late-roster addition, the kind of receiver you target after your core is set. His 90th-percentile ceiling of 196.3 points gives him a reason to be on your radar, but his floor of 48.1 points at the 10th percentile means he should not be counted on as a starter. Use him as a depth piece or a high-variance stash, and keep his Week 13 bye in mind when setting your lineup during the fantasy playoffs.

He projects at 122.4 half-PPR points with a draft value of -5.7, placing him just below replacement level at WR as WR40 and #91 overall in Tier 9. He is a depth or stash option rather than a reliable starter, but his 90th-percentile outcome of 196.3 points gives him a ceiling worth considering late in a draft.

The top 10 percent of his simulated seasons finish at or above 196.3 half-PPR points, and his 75th-percentile outcome is 155.2 points. The upside is real, but it sits alongside a 10th-percentile floor of just 48.1 points, so the range of outcomes is wide.

Cooper does not have a market ADP in 2026 public drafts, so there is no established draft slot to reference. His ranking of #91 overall and WR40 in Tier 9 suggests he belongs in the late rounds of a draft, after your core starters are secured.

Cooper's bye is Week 13, which falls during the fantasy playoff window for most leagues. If he is a key contributor on your roster by that point, you will need a replacement lined up for that week.
