Should I start Tre Tucker or Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper Jr., and the board ranks him 97th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Tre Tucker is 2.2 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 has Omar Cooper Jr. at 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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.

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

Their 2025 seasons
