0:00.0

Omar Cooper Jr. was technically not even the wide receiver one on his own team when sharing the field with Elijah Sarant, round four pick to the Baltimore Ravens, Surratt.

0:09.8

Cooper Jr. technically did have fewer targets, but still, we are talking about a very, very productive player here.

0:15.4

I'm going to share my screen here. If you're watching on YouTube, you'll see the most productive seasons from any receivers in the 2026 draft class in terms of fantasy points.

0:28.3

And Cooper Jr.'s 2025, 185 fantasy points in PPR formats.

0:34.8

Very, very productive player.

0:35.8

Over 1,000 scrimmage yards at Indiana last year,

0:38.6

14 scrimmage touchdowns. And the high-end flashes that you see on film are very, very

0:44.2

impressive. This player is very easy to get excited about. So the two players who scored more were

0:50.8

Skylar Bell out of Connecticut, Mackay Lemon out of USC. You see here on the far right,

0:56.2

these are target rates, target per route run rate, 36% for Skylar Bell, 30% for Lemon, 26% for

1:05.5

Omar Cooper Jr. And I want to stay with that stat here for a moment. I think it's very

1:09.9

interesting. So I'm going to focus on wide receivers who have been selected in round one of the NFL draft dating back to 2017. That's as far back as my data goes here, courtesy of true media, this database that I'm using. And so I want to look at receivers. Again, it's sort of by the most points in a season. So you see this crazy Jordan Addison season at Pitt up here at the top.

1:29.6

I want to focus on receivers who have put up 180 or more PPR points,

1:33.8

been drafted in round one, and had relatively low target rates.

1:38.6

A target per route rate below 30%.

1:40.5

And so those receivers are Omar Cooper Jr. And then you find Zay Flowers in this group,

1:49.4

along with Emeka, Tetero McMillan, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Jameson, Romedunze, Jordan

1:56.2

Addison, and Garrett Wilson. Again, those are target rates below 30%, but very productive still.

2:02.6

So they got there with efficiency. The other side of that is a group of players who were drafted

2:08.0

in round one and put up, you know, the big production over 180 in a season, but had a target rate

2:13.3

of 30% or higher that was Malik neighbors, Marvin Harrison Jr., John Dotson, Traylon

2:20.4

Berks. So I don't want to just say it's that simple, but, you know,
