BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~138 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~151
ANALYSIS: After posting six seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards from 2015 to 2021 (seven years), Brandin Cooks failed to reach 700 receiving yards in each of the last two campaigns. While the soon-to-be 31-year-old looks beyond his prime, he's still in a great situation to score fantasy points in 2024.
CeeDee Lamb could get out to a slow start following his extended absence from the organization this offseason, and the team did not bring in any impact pass-catchers. Michael Gallup retired, and Tony Pollard signed with the Tennessee Titans, so Cooks likely remains locked into the No. 2 or No. 3 pass-catching role.

The veteran's eight touchdowns last season saved his fantasy relevance. Although touchdowns are not sticky year-to-year, he'll be a significant contributor to one of the best passing offenses in the NFL. This makes him worth a late-round flier in deeper setups, especially for managers who went heavy on running backs early in their drafts. He will be a flex consideration in favorable matchups.
