Brandin Cooks Paces Team In Receiving
3 years agoHouston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hauled in nine of 14 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in a 31-21 loss to the Browns. There were 28 total targets for the Texans as a team, and Cooks saw half of them, as no other pass-catcher garnered more than two looks. While he couldn't find any room deep downfield, the 27-year-old was content to operate as an underneath target for Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) and Davis Mills, who connected with him on a two-yard score. The Texans have no other playmakers who come close to Cooks, so he's a safe bet for volume every week, making him a solid WR2/3 depending on the matchup.
