2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was far from a perfect rookie season for Cooper, but he flashed productivity in all three phases of defense while also seeing his role increase as the season progressed. He began the campaign in a reserve role but eventually replaced Isaiah McDuffie as the primary inside linebacker working alongside Quay Walker. The results were exciting, if inconsistent. Cooper used his speed and explosiveness to regularly burst into the backfield and make plays to disrupt offenses (13 tackles for loss, seven quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks) but also had a missed tackle rate of 15.4 percent. He was sufficient in coverage, so a three-down role as early as 2025 isn't out of the question. Cooper is one of the top IDP breakout candidates. Read Past Outlooks
Logs full practice Thursday
Cooper (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Cooper was able to up his participation after opening the week with a limited session Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. The linebacker now appears to be set to play Sunday against the Bears, but he'll have one more practice Friday to fully prove his health.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Looking to bolster the middle linebacker position amid a move to a 4-3 defense, the Packers scooped up Cooper in the second round of this year's draft. Cooper brings little size (6-2, 230 pounds) but plenty of speed (4.51 40) to the table, and he was in the backfield frequently in his final year of college. Green Bay's top two tacklers from last season return, and Cooper is projected to slot into the starting spot between the two of them.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could emerge as defensive star
Cooper seems poised for a huge season in the middle of the Packers defense, Marc Ross of NFL.com projects.
ANALYSIS
As a rookie in 2024, Cooper was eased into a larger role at linebacker before missing three games in the second half due to a hamstring injury, but once he returned he was a tackling machine, racking up 35 stops over the final four regular-season games and eight more in a wild-card loss to the Eagles. Cooper proceeded to add 10 pounds of muscle this offseason without apparently losing any explosiveness, and his ability to stay healthy might be the only thing standing between him and a breakthrough campaign.
