Brandin Cooks (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Brandin Cooks - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 87% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should strongly consider adding Brandin Cooks off the waiver wire after his Week 1 performance, where he posted four catches on seven targets for 40 yards and a touchdown against the Browns on Sunday.

While the yardage might seem modest, the key takeaway is his involvement in the Cowboys' offense. Cooks was targeted seven times, showing that he is a trusted option for Dallas in the passing game. His ability to find the end zone only boosts his fantasy value, especially in a Cowboys offense that can create scoring opportunities.

With tight end Jake Ferguson dealing with an MCL sprain that could sideline him for some time, Cooks may see even more targets as the team looks to shift additional passing volume to their wide receivers.

Moreover, Cooks' Week 1 involvement suggests that he is a vital part of the Cowboys' offensive scheme, and his role could expand as the season progresses. Dallas is likely to continue airing it out, and Cooks has a proven track record of being a reliable fantasy asset in various systems.

With his combination of speed, route-running ability, and experience, Cooks has the potential to provide solid fantasy production week-to-week.

If you need wide receiver depth on the bench or are looking for a potential flex play, picking up Cooks now could pay dividends as his chemistry with the offense builds, especially in light of Ferguson’s absence.
