Brandin Cooks - WR, New Orleans Saints
This guy was taken early in most drafts, and boy has he stunk. He had eight targets this week, but only turned that into four receptions for 25 yards, turning in his worst PFF grade of the year with a -2.3 rating (he has been negative in three out of the four games so far).
He might just not have that next step of growth in him right now. He will have his good games, but consistency anywhere near a WR1 value does not appear to be in the cards. His fantasy football stock has fallen, and unfortunately owners are not getting the production they paid for on draft day.
Matt Jones - RB, Washington Redskins
This guy had so much buzz, but it really looks like the Redskins' running backs are going to continue to hurt each other's production. Matt Jones had a rough game, turning seven carries into only 11 yards.
Back-to-back weeks with fumbles are going to kill your potential when there's a strong incumbent option in Alfred Morris, and a young change-of-pace back who is running well in Chris Thompson. It looks like Matt Jones may not be the breakout running back that fantasy owners had hoped he would become, although it's still early in the season and the coaching staff still loves his raw talent. Hopefully better days are ahead, but for now fantasy owners shouldn't be expecting any big games on the horizon.
