NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Jacksonville
Brandin Cooks caught 10-of-13 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the Saints Week 15 loss to the Lions. With Detroit jumping out to a 28-3 lead early in the third quarter, New Orleans was forced to throw to get back in the game. That benefited Cooks, who became Drew Brees' go-to receiver in the second half. The second-year wideout did most of his damage in the final two quarters, racking up 85 yards on seven catches. Ranked as our WR17 for Week 16, view Cooks as a WR2 against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 25th against fantasy receivers this season.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Detroit
Brandin Cooks caught 3-of-5 targets for just 29 yards in the Saints Week 14 win over the Bucs. The five targets were the fewest he's seen since a Week 6 win over the Falcons. With the Saints holding a lead in the second half, they turned to their running game and Cooks was only targeted once after halftime. For those fantasy owners that survived Cooks' lack of production in Week 14 and advanced in their playoffs, Cooks will be a low-end WR2 this Sunday versus the Lions. He ranks as our WR21 for Week 15.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay
Brandin Cooks caught 6-of-10 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Saints Week 13 loss to the Panthers. Despite being shadowed by Josh Norman in coverage, Cooks was able to catch a 54-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Unfortunately for Cooks owners, he suffered a concussion earlier this week and missed practice on Thursday. But he cleared the league's concussion protocol and is probable for Week 14, where he ranks as our WR19. Consider him a low-end WR2 for Sunday.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Carolina
Brandin Cooks caught 5-of-8 targets for 35 yards in the Saints Week 12 loss to the Texans. The yardage output was his second lowest of the season as the entire New Orleans offense was grounded by J.J. Watt and Co. Owners will want to avoid Cooks this weekend, as he and the Saints have a rough matchup versus the Panthers' outstanding defense. Cooks will certain draw plenty of Josh Norman, which will limit his production. Travis Benjamin, Doug Baldwin, Stevie Johnson and even Brandon LaFell are better options than Cooks this week.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Houston
Brandin Cooks caught 5-of-8 targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints Week 10 loss to the Redskins. Both of his scores came in the first half and was only targeted four times in the second half despite New Orleans playing catch-up. At least Cooks has now managed at least 70 yards receiver or a touchdown in four straight games. He ranks as our WR17 in PPR formats for Sunday against the Texans and should be viewed as a WR2.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Washington

Brandin Cooks caught 4-of-6 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Saints Week 9 loss to the Titans. Willie Snead led the team in targets with 10, but Cooks finished with more looks than tight end Ben Watson, who finished with five. Cooks has now secured 70-plus yards receiving in three straight games and has three touchdowns the past two weeks. Ranked as our WR18 for Week 10, view Cooks as a low-end WR2 with upside.

NO WR Brandin Cooks - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee
Brandin Cooks caught 6-of-8 targets for 88 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints Week 8 win over the Giants. Drew Brees threw for 511 yards and seven touchdowns, so Cooks was finally able to have one of the best games of his two-year career. While fantasy owners have mostly been disappointed with his production given his preseason expectations, at least Cooks now looks like a WR3 with upside as opposed to a WR3 with a clear ceiling. Ranked as our WR18 in standard formats this week, Cooks should be in your lineup when the Saints host the Titans on Sunday.
