Omar Cooper, Xavier Worthy among boom-or-bust fantasy options in Week 6
Summary

Fantasy football players are considering several boom-or-bust candidates for Week 6, including New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper. After recovering from an ankle injury, Cooper is expected to see more targets, particularly with Adonai Mitchell ruled out. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy could also have a larger role this week, especially with Rashee Rice sidelined. New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston has been performing well with strong passing stats, while New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's status is uncertain due to an ankle injury. Decisions around these players could alter lineups as fantasy managers look for risks to enhance their chances of victory.
