Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

2,628

Range 2,437–2,817

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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.

Quick answer

Watch

Cooper had 21 solo tackles, 8 sacks in 2025, finishing LB78. Recent form cooled from LB50 to LB78 — 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.
