Overview
- Cooper returned from injured reserve and, in his first two games back, recorded consecutive 100‑plus yard receiving performances with touchdowns.
- Against New England he had six catches for 103 yards and a 48‑yard touchdown after a cautious snap count in his Week 6 activation.
- On Sunday versus Miami he caught all five targets for 115 yards, including 52‑ and 60‑yard gains and a short third‑quarter touchdown.
- Cooper says he and Geno Smith are building chemistry on the deep ball, a relationship the coverage credits for several of Cooper’s explosive plays.
- His emergence has practical consequences: it highlights bright spots in losses, raises questions about Garrett Wilson’s reduced target share, and matters long term because Cooper is under team control for the next several seasons with a possible fifth‑year option.
