Should I start Omar Cooper Jr. or Kalif Raymond in Week 7?

Updated Oct 24, 7:16 AM ET.

Start Kalif Raymond: 54 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Omar Cooper Jr.'s 43 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets. 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 2025 seasons

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

In 2025 Kalif Raymond played 15 games and scored 66.8 PPR points, 4.5 a game, finishing WR94.

He caught 24 of 30 targets for 289 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 red zone targets.

That came to 2.0 targets a game, a 80 percent catch rate and 12.0 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Kalif Raymond holds the bigger snap share, 60 percent against 43 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 15 percent each.

Byes and availability

Omar Cooper Jr. is off in Week 13 and Kalif Raymond in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Kalif Raymond has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
