What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Darius Cooper (PHI WR), our WR91 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 2.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 7.6 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Roster share is bleeding 2.4% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 5% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 2.4 points is roughly 76% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Darius Cooper (PHI WR), our WR91 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 2.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 7.6 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. WSH is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's being dropped at a 2.4% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 5% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
