Cooper is part of a young Jets receiver rotation behind the top targets. A multiweek absence would reduce the flexibility of that group, but PFM will wait for a firm timetable before considering an offensive adjustment.

PFM Impact on New York Jets
Fitzpatrick is a starting safety and a major piece of the Jets' secondary.
Patrick's IR move removes veteran receiver depth from a Jets offense that already enters the season with a low PFM grade. The loss is worth tracking, but his role is not large enough by itself to move the team evaluation.
