Cooper DeJean’s early outside‐corner work and Nickel looks reveal a ferocious, flexible defender. While Fangio signaled Week 1 outside CB isn’t guaranteed, DeJean’s performance keeps him in the mix for a significant role later in the season, with Mac McWilliams and Jakorian Bennett also pushing for reps.

DeJean surged from possible late-round depth to a credible outside-corner candidate, lining opposite Quinang Mitchell in base sets and drawing attention for his cover skills and physicality. His development matters for the Eagles’ depth in a Fangio-led defense that values versatility at corner and nickel.

DeJean has been splitting time at safety in base packages and nickel in sub-packages, highlighting the Eagles’ multi-dimensional approach. His versatility is valuable for fantasy in deeper leagues, as he can contribute in multiple alignments.

DeJean’s reps with the nickel and on the edge rotation give him a live audition for a versatile role. He flashed willingness to press at the line and cover tight ends, keeping the competition lively.

DeJean at No. 60 has already left a mark with a jaw‐dropping pick‐6 against Mahomes in the Super Bowl, showcasing a knack for big plays and ball skills that boost Philly’s secondary upside for both real football and fantasy scoring.
