Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has two straight games with 100-plus yards and a touchdown

With all the talk about the lack of targets for highly-paid veteran receiver Garrett Wilson, the Jets have been getting plenty of production out of first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr.

Cooper suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. He returned in Week 6, and he has had a pair of 100-yard games, with a touchdown in each one.

If he does it again today against the Raiders, Cooper will become only the fifth rookie in NFL history with three straight 100-yard performances and a touchdown.

Via NBC Sports research, the others were Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014, Mike Evans in 2014, Randy Moss in 1998, and Jimmy Orr, way back in 1958.

Against the Patriots in Week 6, Cooper had six catches on seven targets, for 103 yards and a touchdown. Against the Dolphins in Week 7, Cooper had five catches on five targets for 115 yards and a touchdown.

Cooper’s ascension makes it even more plausible for the Jets to consider trade offers for Wilson. Even though the Jets claim they’re not open to trading him. Even if they aren’t, the calls will surely keep coming — especially if Wilson doesn’t have significant involvement today, and if Cooper does.
