The New York Jets could see Omar Cooper Jr. fall behind Isaiah Williams in the competition for the WR3 spot. Following a recent preseason game, reports indicated Cooper played with the backups while Williams appeared with the starters. Bleacher Report's Alex Kay forecasts that the Jets will likely start the season with Garrett Wilson as WR1, Adonai Mitchell as WR2, and Williams at WR3. Despite Cooper being a late first-round pick, his potential role seems limited based on current performance during training camp and preseason activities.
