2025 Projections
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 disrupting the offense (13 tackles for loss, seven quarterback hits and 3.5 sacks) but also had a missed tackle rate of 15.4 percent. He was also 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
Sees role increase in rookie season
Cooper played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 87 tackles (57 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
The second-round rookie out of Texas A&M saw limited playing time on defense early in the regular season, but he slowly saw his snap count increase as the year progressed and ended up starting in the Packers' final four games of 2024 (including the NFC wild-card game against the Eagles). Cooper missed three games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in Week 15 against the Seahawks and accumulated 42 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) in the following five games (including playoffs). Cooper won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month award for December/January and figures to be a staple of the Packers' defense for the 2025 campaign.

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
Named as breakout candidate
Cooper is a dark horse candidate to be named an All-Pro in 2025, Ben Solak of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 second-round pick saw his role increase as his rookie year progressed and he displaced Isaiah McDuffie in the middle of the Packers' defense. Cooper has exceptional speed and explosiveness, so he's bound to make some big plays in a full-time role. He needs to improve as a tackler however after logging a 15.4 percent missed tackle rate in 2024, per PFF.
