- : Treylon Burks: Listed Questionable (Foot) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Omar Cooper Jr.: 72 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Treylon Burks's 65 percent of the snaps and 19 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.

The gap
- Board size306 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 Treylon Burks, and the board ranks him 92nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Omar Cooper Jr., and the board ranks him 178th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Treylon Burks's market-based projection is 6.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 98th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.
The market has Omar Cooper Jr. at 1.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 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 Jr.'s projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Treylon Burks has been on the field for 52 percent of WAS snaps, drawn 12 percent of the targets and had 8 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 4 of the offence's 48 third down targets, had 0 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 26 two minute targets.
His 22 targets have averaged 17.6 air yards.
In Week 5 against NYG he caught 2 of 5 targets for 26 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against SF he caught 4 of 6 targets for 66 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against PHI he caught 3 of 5 targets for 81 yards and did not score.
Through Week 8, Omar Cooper Jr. has been on the field for 72 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 8 percent of the targets and had 4 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 18 third down targets, had 1 of its 6 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 3 two minute targets.
His 5 targets have averaged 10.2 air yards.
In Week 7 against MIA he caught 5 of 5 targets for 115 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
In Week 8 against LV he was not given the ball.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Treylon Burks played 8 games and scored 29.0 PPR points, 3.6 a game, finishing WR138.
He caught 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and 1 touchdown, with 4 red zone targets.
That came to 2.8 targets a game, a 45 percent catch rate and 13.0 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 58 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Omar Cooper Jr. is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Head to head
This season Omar Cooper Jr. holds the bigger snap share, 72 percent against 52 percent.
This season Treylon Burks holds the bigger target share, 12 percent against 8 percent.
Byes and availability
Treylon Burks is off in Week 7 and Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
Omar Cooper Jr. has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
