Should I start Omar Cooper or Corey Kiner in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 12:06 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Omar Cooper: 43 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Corey Kiner's 13 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Their Week 7 outlook
The gap
- Board size301 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper, and the board ranks him 142nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Corey Kiner, and the board ranks him 143rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Omar Cooper is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 0.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Omar Cooper's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 6
Through Week 6, Omar Cooper has been on the field for 43 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 15 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 9 third down targets, had 0 of its 3 chances inside the five and seen 2 of its 12 two minute targets.
His 8 targets have averaged 11.6 air yards.
In Week 1 against TEN he caught 1 of 1 target for 30 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against NE he caught 6 of 7 targets for 103 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Through Week 6, Corey Kiner has been on the field for 12 percent of NE snaps, taken 17 percent of the carries, drawn 1 percent of the targets and had 16 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 0 of the offence's 51 third down targets, had 0 of its 10 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 25 two minute targets.
His 2 targets have come 4.0 yards behind the line of scrimmage on average.
In Week 4 against BUF he carried 0 times for 0 yards and did not score.
In Week 5 against LV he carried 6 times for 52 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 7 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against NYJ he carried 11 times for 57 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
Omar Cooper is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 Corey Kiner played 4 games and scored 9.3 PPR points, 2.3 a game, finishing RB112.
He carried 12 times for 58 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 2 of 3 targets for 15 more yards.
That came to 3.0 carries a game at 4.8 yards a carry and 0-1 catches a game.
He was on the field for 7 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Omar Cooper is a wide receiver and Corey Kiner a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Omar Cooper is off in Week 13 and Corey Kiner in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
