In Week 7 against IND he carried 1 time for 3 yards, caught 2 of 3 targets for 20 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

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

In 2025 Jordan Addison played 14 games and scored 135.1 PPR points, 9.7 a game, finishing WR45.

He caught 42 of 79 targets for 610 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 13 red zone targets.

That came to 5.6 targets a game, a 53 percent catch rate and 15 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 85 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Jordan Addison holds the bigger snap share, 90 percent against 64 percent.

This season Jordan Addison holds the bigger target share, 20 percent against 17 percent.

Byes and availability

Omar Cooper Jr. is off in Week 13 and Jordan Addison in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.4 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 live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
