Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Charlie Kolar played 17 games and scored 36.2 PPR points, 2.1 a game, finishing TE62.

He caught 10 of 15 targets for 142 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 3 red zone targets.

That came to 0.9 targets a game, a 67 percent catch rate and 14.2 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 40 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Omar Cooper is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Charlie Kolar is a tight end and Omar Cooper a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Charlie Kolar is off in Week 7 and Omar Cooper in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

Omar Cooper is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

0.8 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
