Proven LB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Cooper had 21 solo tackles, 8 sacks in 2025, finishing LB79. Recent form cooled from LB49 to LB79 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
