Trends

"Cooks reunited with the Saints -- the team that drafted him in 2014 -- after bouncing around the league (four stops) since departing New Orleans in 2017. The former first-round pick has had his stretches of WR2 production (seven of 11 seasons have resulted in a top-25 finish in fantasy PPG), but he hasn't had a finish better than 37th since 2021 and he fell to a career-low 76th in 2024. Now 31 years old, Cooks is expected to slide in as the Saints' No. 3 receiver behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. He'll likely see a handful of targets most weeks, but consistent fantasy output is a long shot, especially with Spencer Rattler and/or rookie Tyler Shough under center. Cooks is worth consideration only in the late rounds."

"Cooks broke out in a big way after being held to one catch on five targets over his first four appearances with the Bills. The veteran wideout tallied his first 100-yard game since he was a member of the Texans back in 2021. Cooks finished behind only WR Khalil Shakir (6-35-0) for Buffalo in terms of targets and receptions in a game that starting TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed and WR Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch for. The 31-year-old Cooks' strong game may have helped solidify a role on offense for him as the Bills prepare to embark on a playoff run. If that scenario holds true, fantasy managers in deeper formats could benefit from rolling out Cooks against the Jets in Week 18."
