Should I start Omar Cooper or Roschon Johnson in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 16, 1:36 PM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Roschon Johnson, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Omar Cooper: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 142nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Drafters have formed no consensus on Roschon Johnson: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 143rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Omar Cooper's market-based projection is 5.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 128th highest figure of the 206 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Roschon Johnson is 5.3 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Roschon Johnson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

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

In 2025 Roschon Johnson played 7 games and scored 1.7 PPR points, 0.2 a game, finishing RB134.

He carried 2 times for 17 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 0 of 0 targets for 0 more yards.

That came to 0.3 carries a game at 9 yards a carry.

He was on the field for 1 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Omar Cooper is a wide receiver and Roschon Johnson 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 Roschon Johnson in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

Omar Cooper is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Roschon Johnson is only part priced, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
