Should I Start Darius Cooper or Theo Johnson in Week 4?

Darius Cooper is projected for 3.0 points, 93rd among wide receivers this week. Most weeks he lands between 0.0 and 5.7. This week he plays vs LAR; the game total is 43.0 and his team is a 3.5-point underdog. The number is built from live market data across 15 books, in half-PPR scoring, and the lines have moved since they opened. How it adds up: 14.5 receiving yards (+1.5), 1.6 catches (+0.8), 0.1 touchdowns (+0.8). Last week (Week 3) he was projected for 1.1 points and did not play.

Theo Johnson is projected for 2.9 points, 40th among tight ends this week. Most weeks he lands between 0.0 and 7.3. This week he plays vs ARI; the game total is 44.5 and his team is a 2.5-point underdog. The number is built from live market data across 15 books, with the stats no book prices filled in from his role and Sleeper’s numbers, in half-PPR scoring, and has held steady since the lines opened. How it adds up: 14.5 receiving yards (+1.4), 0.2 touchdowns (+0.9), 1.1 catches (+0.5). Last week (Week 3) he was projected for 1.4 points and scored 0.0.

It is close to a coin flip. He projects for 3.0 points this week against 2.9 for Theo Johnson. His chance of outscoring Theo Johnson is 59%. Their ranges overlap — Darius Cooper usually lands between 0.0 and 5.7, Theo Johnson between 0.0 and 7.3 — so either can win the week.
