Riley Cooper is expected to make his 2012 regular season debut Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles play the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Cooper broke his collarbone in training camp, and has been forced to sit ever since. He returned to practice prior to Week 4, and was able to practice fully Wednesday, Thursday and Friday prior to Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: This is great news for Cooper. Unfortunately, he won't help your fantasy team much unless you are in a very deep league.

He will need to pass Jason Avant and Damaris Johnson, however, which is easier said than done.
