Brandin Cooks Fantasy

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught 11 of 16 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in a 41-38 loss to the Titans. Cooks' 16 targets were an amazing season-high, as were the yards and touchdowns. It was a great finish to a superb season for the 27-year-old, who racked up his fifth 1000-yard season, four of which came for different teams. Perhaps aware of this stat, Cooks stated he wants to stay in Houston and "won't accept any more trades." Of course, it will be up to the new regime to decide what to do. At any rate, when healthy, it's clear that Cooks can deliver WR2 results.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks enters Week 17 with 984 yards on the season, putting him just 16 yards away from his fifth 1000-yard season. After catching seven passes for 141 yards and a score last week and posting 59-plus receiving yards in five consecutive games, Cooks should be set to hit that mark with ease. Houston's receiving unit has been beset with injury and suspension this season, but Cooks has been a solid threat all year, even if he got off to a slow start. Consider him a WR2 play this week.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks torched the Bengals' secondary in a losing effort. Cooks caught seven of 10 targets for 141 receiving yards and a touchdown, a beautiful, 25-yard catch that tied the game towards the end of the first half. The veteran wideout is just 16 yards away from becoming the second player to record 1000-yard seasons with four different franchises. Cooks has exceeded 50 receiving yards in nine of his last 10 games this season, a remarkable stretch and one that shows his consistency as a fantasy option. He'll close the season next week against the Titans.
