Brandin Cooks News
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has decided to not attend voluntary workouts. The 28-year-old recently signed an extension with Houston, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. This doesn't appear to be a holdout or anything like that. Over the last two seasons, Cooks has been a significant part of the Texans offense. He is expected to be a focal point of their offense once again in 2022.
In speaking with local reporters Monday, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton commended wide receiver Brandin Cooks for his ability to dictate the team's offensive strategy. "He brings a certain level of paranoia for our opponents and that's going to open up the opportunity for us to balance out our attack," Hamilton said. Houston undoubtedly wants to improve their ground game, but with one of the worst running back committees in the NFL, they may have to depend on Cooks more than ever to sustain drives. In 2021, Cooks finished with a team-high 90 catches, 1,037 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He accumulated 459 receiving yards on third downs, the third-most in the NFL. Houston went against many expectations by committing to quarterback Davis Mills and not trading Cooks, and their continued rapport together could make for a sneaky stack in 2022. Cooks, as always, is expected to have immense standalone value relative to where he will be drafted.
The Houston Texans and wide receiver Brandin Cooks agreed to a two-year deal on Thursday. The firm numbers of the deal aren't available yet, but Cooks should be able to earn just under $20 million per year through the 2024 season. A lot of folks expected Cooks to be dealt this offseason, but he'll stay in Houston for another two years instead. The 28-year-old had the sixth 1,000-yard season of his career in 2021 with rookie quarterback Davis Mills starting the majority of the season. He finished with a career-high 90 receptions for 1,037 yards and six touchdowns on a career-high 134 targets. Cooks has reached 1,000 yards now in six of his eight NFL seasons, and he should once again be a target hog in the Texans offense in 2022.

Brandin Cooks has quietly been one of the most productive receivers in the league since 2015. And despite subpar quarterback play and a mediocre offense the last two seasons in Houston, he's posted back-to-back top-20 performances. His target share...
