What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Omar Cooper Jr. (NYJ WR), our WR47 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LV, projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 4.2 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The vs LV draw matters here — home snaps against LV shape how often he's asked to do something. Managers added him at a 20.7% clip this week — that kind of movement usually follows real snaps, not vibes. 23% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
