"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."

"Adams signed with the Rams and figures to operate as the team's de facto Cooper Kupp replacement opposite Puka Nacua. Adams' age (32) is an obvious red flag, but he didn't show signs of slowing down last season. Despite missing three games and being traded, Adams delivered five top-10 fantasy weeks, which tied for fourth among WRs. Adams has now finished top 15 in fantasy PPG each of the past 10 seasons and, while he won't be the No. 1 target in Los Angeles, there are more than enough targets to go around in Sean McVay's scheme with Matthew Stafford under center (the Rams have led the NFL in WR targets each of the last two seasons). He's no longer an elite fantasy option, but Adams is a fine WR2 target with back-end WR1 upside."	"The Rams will continue to keep Adams on the shelf due to his lingering left hamstring injury, seemingly with getting him healthy ahead of the playoffs in mind. He'll have one more chance to play in the regular season this coming Sunday against the Cardinals, but his odds to actually suit up in that contest are unknown at this time. With Adams sidelined for a second straight game Monday, Puka Nacua will continue to be the focal point of Los Angeles' passing attack, with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell also on hand for snaps and potential targets."

"Brown re-signed with the Chiefs after a lost 2024 in which he appeared in only five games (including the playoffs). It didn't take long for Brown to play a significant role (he had a season-high eight targets in his debut), but he didn't make much noise, maxing out at 46 yards and 9.5 fantasy points. Brown has now missed game action in five of his six NFL seasons, including three or more games in three straight years. He has yet to produce a top-20 fantasy campaign in six tries and his lone top-35 finish came in 2021. Kansas City's wide receiver room is suddenly a bit crowded on paper and Brown may find his way to an every-down role only during Rashee Rice's six-game suspension. The 28-year-old Brown is best valued as bench option in deeper leagues, though he'll have WR3/flex appeal while Rice is out."

"Despite the fact both Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton were placed on injured reserve earlier in the week due to their respective concussions, Brown had a minimal impact while working with third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun. Irrespective of who's been under center, Brown has struggled with his production down the stretch, as Thursday marked his fifth straight game with less than 40 receiving yards."

"Taylor enters his age-26 campaign as one of the few remaining clear feature backs. The five-year vet finished last season top 5 among RBs in carries and rushing yards, averaging a healthy 4.72 YPC along the way. Taylor did miss three games due to injury and has now managed just one full season in his career (2021). He's also struggled to make much of an impact as a pass catcher, having never finished a season top 20 in targets. Taylor's heavy rushing workload allowed him to produce good fantasy numbers regardless of who was under center last season and, while the lack of receiving will limit his ceiling, we should expect the same in 2025. Taylor is best valued as a midrange RB1."

"It was the least productive game of the season for Taylor, as his longest run went for only eight yards and rookie DJ Giddens wound up leading the Colts with 30 rushing yards. Taylor missed his chance to catch James Cook for the NFL rushing crown, but he still wraps up an impressive campaign with 1,585 rushing yards and a career-high 18 TDs on the ground, along with a 46-378-2 line on 55 targets through the air. The 26-year-old RB will head into 2026 as the centerpiece of the Indianapolis offense."
