Denver Broncos
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cooper impressed in 2024, finishing the season with 58 total tackles (33 solo), including 10.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble over 17 regular season games. Cooper and fellow linebacker Nik Bonitto combined for 24 sacks, the most of any edge-rush duo in the league. The 27-year-old should continue to be a staple of a formidable Denver defense, as the aforementioned tandem should wreak havoc on opposing offenses in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $60 million contract with the Broncos in November of 2024.
Finishes 2025 with 8.0 sacks
LBDenver Broncos
January 9, 2026
Cooper recorded 50 tackles (23 solo), including 8.0 sacks, and four passes defensed over 17 games in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Cooper continued to be a key contributor for Denver's top-tier pass rushing unit in 2025, recording the second-most sacks of any Broncos defender behind only Nik Bonitto (14.0). The 28-year-old linebacker signed a four-year extension in 2024, keeping Cooper and Bonitto under contract together for the foreseeable future. Cooper's continued development should help him to build upon his performance as one of the leaders of Denver's defense in 2026.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Cooper heads into the 2024 campaign on the last year of his rookie deal, coming off an impressive 2023 season. The veteran linebacker's career-high 8.5 sacks last season led all Broncos, and his 72 total tackles were the third-most of any of the team's defenders. A key member of Denver's defensive unit, Cooper will look to improve upon last season's strong performance in a contract year. The 26-year-old should thus remain a solid option in IDP formats this season.
Cooper enters the 2023 campaign as the likely backup to Randy Gregory at strongside linebacker. The 25-year-old appeared in 14 games last season, recording 48 total tackles and two sacks. Cooper should provide solid depth to a strong linebacker corps in Denver.
