Ruh-roh. Despite entering training camp projected as a return specialist, Isaiah Williams is pushing for meaningful snaps. Armed with an elite 31.8-percent College Target Share (94th percentile) and a 126.1 Burst Score (73rd percentile), Williams is capitalizing on early-camp practice reps over first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr. His high-volume collegiate background gives him a clear path to early-season slot routes if Cooper’s developmental “pitfalls” continue deep into training camp. 

Williams is not the long-term answer in the slot, but by outplaying Cooper thus far in camp, he is highlighting the fragility of Cooper’s 2026 fantasy points projection. Cooper is one of the big fallers in camp across all fantasy football formats. Fantasy gamers are rightfully refusing to draft him in high stakes and sidestepping him in dynasty rookie drafts.
