I didn’t want to overload you with repeats this week so I decided to dig a little deeper down the list and look for a player who wasn’t drafted as high as the others but is disappointing all the same. Brandin Cooks has yet to find the endzone or reach 100 yards in a game in an offense that has been struggling on all fronts. Much like the Detroit Lions, I’m not convinced that this is a team that can sustain fantasy value at any position this season.
Still, Cooks did put him his best game of the year so far in Week 3, although that isn’t really saying much. His seven receptions for 79 yards made him a decent PPR play, at least. The expectation, however, was that he'd develop into much more than a PPR guy.
With quarterback Drew Brees a week closer to return, I suppose you could cross your fingers, rub your lucky rabbit’s foot and hope that better days are ahead. I think there’s really only two ways to look at Cooks for 2015; he’s either the ultimate buy-low candidate or the prototypical fantasy bust. Unfortunately, I’m more inclined to consider him the latter.
