The gap

  • Board size311 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 Marvin Mims, and the board ranks him 168th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper, and the board ranks him 192nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Marvin Mims's market-based projection is 3.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 141st highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Omar Cooper is 1.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 10 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver'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, Marvin Mims has been on the field for 23 percent of DEN snaps, drawn 8 percent of the targets and had 0 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 5 of the offence's 36 third down targets, had 0 of its 6 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 19 two minute targets.

His 9 targets have averaged 5.7 air yards.

In Week 4 against SF he caught 1 of 3 targets for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 5 against LAC he carried 1 time for 3 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 6 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against SEA he caught 2 of 4 targets for 13 yards and did not score.

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.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Marvin Mims played 15 games and scored 93.0 PPR points, 6.2 a game, finishing WR66.

He caught 37 of 51 targets for 322 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 red zone targets.

That came to 3.4 targets a game, a 73 percent catch rate and 8.7 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 35 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.

Head to head

This season Omar Cooper holds the bigger snap share, 43 percent against 23 percent.

This season Omar Cooper holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 8 percent.

Byes and availability

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

What would change the answer

Omar Cooper has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
