Riley Cooper has caught 15 passes for 393 yards and six touchdowns from Nick Foles this season.
Although Michael Vick has attempted five more passes than Foles this year, Cooper has just eight catches for 93 yards and one touchdown from the Week 1 starter. It's blatantly obvious that Foles has far more confidence in Cooper and proved it Sunday by chucking a bomb to him despite double coverage. With Foles likely under center for the rest of the season, Cooper is on the WR3 radar. He has a plus matchup with the Redskins in Week 11.

Riley Cooper (illness) has resumed practicing in full.
Cooper's illness was never a concern for his Week 10 status. With three 80-yard efforts in his past four games, Cooper is a WR4 who can serve in a WR3 pinch.

Riley Cooper (illness) returned to practice Wednesday.
Cooper was sent home Tuesday but is obviously feeling better. We wouldn't chase Cooper's crazy Week 9 too hard, but he's on the WR4 radar this week.

Riley Cooper was sent home from Tuesday's practice due to illness.
Cooper has plenty of time to rest up before Sunday's game at Green Bay. Although he's short on speed and separation ability, he's long on opportunity right now. In NIck Foles' last three starts, Cooper has averaged 5.0 catches for 115.6 yards and scored four times. He'll be a WR4 against the Pack.

Riley Cooper caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Giants.
Hopefully you didn't chase Cooper's fluky lines from the last two weeks. He was back in his blocking role Sunday, and also showed his usual inability to separate on his five targets. Cooper is now on pace for 40 catches, 628 yards and four touchdowns. There are far better options on your waiver wire despite a good matchup at Oakland in Week 9.

Riley Cooper caught six passes for 88 yards in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Cowboys.
For the second straight week, we caution owners not to overreact to Cooper's nice line. This time, much of his yardage came in garbage time with Dallas in a soft zone. Prior to this two-week run, Cooper hadn't topped two catches for 29 yards in a game all year. His role has not changed.

Riley Cooper did not catch a pass in Sunday's Week 5 win over the Giants.
Cooper is a blocker that can't separate. He's arguably the worst starting receiver in the league in terms of pass-catching. Through five weeks, Cooper has totaled eight catches for 93 yards despite playing almost every snap.

Riley Cooper caught two passes for 29 yards in Philadelphia's Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.
It was a pathetic night for the Eagles' stone-handed "No. 2 receiver," who committed three drops, and would have finished with only one catch had Chiefs CB Sean Smith not doubled over in cramps. Cooper is a failed experiment as an NFL receiver, but the Eagles simply have no one else to trout out.
