  "account": "Omar Cooper Jr., the Jets' first-round rookie wide receiver, has been making waves with his impressive 100-yard games in straight games. After recovering from a high-ankle sprain in Week 1, Cooper returned to action in Week 6 and has not looked back since. He has now put together two straight games with 100-plus yards and a touchdown.\n\nIf Cooper replicates this performance against the Raiders on Sunday, he will join an elite group of only five rookies in NFL history to achieve three straight 100-yard games with a touchdown. The others who have accomplished this feat are Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014, Mike Evans in 2014, Randy Moss in 1998, and Jimmy Orr in 1958.\n\nCooper's impressive outing against the Patriots in Week 6 demonstrated his value, as he produced 103 yards and a touchdown on six catches on seven targets. His performance against the Dolphins in Week 7 was equally impressive, with 115 yards and a touchdown on five catches on five targets.\n\nAs Cooper's success continues, it becomes increasingly plausible for the Jets to entertain trade offers for highly-paid veteran receiver Garrett Wilson. Despite the Jets maintaining that they are not open to trading Wilson, the speculation will likely persist, particularly if Wilson does not have significant involvement in today's game, and if Cooper continues to shine.",
  "summary": "With all the talk about the lack of targets for highly-paid veteran receiver Garrett Wilson, the Jets have been getting plenty of production out of first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr.",
