Three weeks without a touchdown has Cooks looking more like a flop than the stud he was projected to be heading into the season. That could change quickly, though.
Despite the absence of Drew Brees at quarterback last week, Cooks caught seven of his eight targets from backup Luke McCown and managed a respectable 78 yards. While that’s not what owners who drafted him in the second and third round were hoping for, Cooks has improved his output in each of the three weeks thus far and could have a much better day against the Cowboys this Sunday.
A touted fantasy football draft prospect who has sputtered in the early-goings, Cooks still has loads of play-making ability on a team growing increasingly devoid of it. He’s worth the buy if the price is right, so you may want to target him in a trade while his value is low.
