WR Brandin Cooks to return to the Saints

Mike Garafolo

Mar 21 · 2:10 PM EDT

A reunion in New Orleans: 11-year veteran WR Brandin Cooks is headed back to the Saints.

Cooks returns to the franchise that drafted him in the first round in 2014.

Related Players: Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Bub Means, Velus Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks brings some speed to New Orleans, but it's very unlikely that he's an every-down player at this point in his career. The vet hasn't hit 700 receiving yards since the 2021 season, in his second year with the Texans.

CHI WR Velus Jones - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Detroit Lions

Velus Jones led the Bears in receiving yards last week with 52 yards on two catches (with four targets). In fact, Jones' 52 yards accounted for 43% of the Bears' total passing yards last week. Jones also returned four kickoffs for 113 yards. Jones is a nice deep play threat, but he's a volatile option considering last week was the only time he had more than 10 receiving yards in a game this season. Jones probably has the highest ceiling of any Bears WR this week, but he's still an extreme risk. He has some appeal in return yardage leagues, but even then, there are likely better options available for Week 17.
