3 years agoHouston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was placed on the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Cooks is reportedly vaccinated, which means that he still has a chance to play on Sunday if he is asymptomatic and registers a few negative tests he could be activated before the game, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. Considering Cooks has accounted for 28% of the targets and 33% of the receiving yards with Davis Mills at quarterback, this would be a massive chunk of the Texans' attack being removed. We would assume that Nico Collins would operate as the team's WR1 in the even that Cooks misses, but he would only be a FLEX play given the strength of the Chargers' secondary and the fact that Collins is not the player Cooks is.--Eric Samulski - RotoBaller
