Is Brandin Cooks Fantasy Relevant in Buffalo?

Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and figures to immediately factor into the Bills' plan at wide receiver in some capacity. The Bills have been tinkering with their wide receivers on the roster over the past few weeks, trying to find the right combination on the field. They signed the former Buffalo Bill Gabe Davis back to the roster along with former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman, but then he was placed on injured reserve with a calf injury. Second-year wideout Keon Coleman has served as a healthy inactive for the past two games for disciplinary reasons. Cooks will have an opportunity to make an impact, although it will take him some time to get up to speed. The veteran hasn't shown much in the past two seasons with the Saints and Cowboys, but he isn't too far removed from a solid 2023 season with the Cowboys, where he recorded 54 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns on eight targets in 16 games. Cooks could be worth monitoring over the next few weeks to see how he is integrated into the offense.

Brandin Cooks Signs With Bills

The Buffalo Bills have signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks to their active roster, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Cooks played 10 games for the Saints this season before reaching an agreement with the team to be released on November 22. The former first-round pick in 2014 cleared waivers and had the option to sign anywhere, ultimately choosing to sign with the contending Bills, who need wide receiver help. The 12-year veteran didn't show much in his time with the Saints this season, catching 19 of his 25 targets for 165 yards and no touchdowns, but he should have a chance to immediately contribute in Buffalo.

Brandin Cooks Waived by Saints

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks was waived by the organization on Saturday. The two sides mutually agreed to part ways earlier this week, but the move is official now. The veteran wideout is now a free agent and could draw some interest from teams in playoff contention. Through 10 games, Cooks hauled in 19 of his 25 targets for 165 receiving yards with zero touchdowns this season. The 32-year-old hasn't contributed much the last few seasons, but could still help as a depth option on a playoff team. The departure of Cooks could mean more playing time for Devaughn Vele and Mason Tipton.

Brandin Cooks and Saints Part Ways

The New Orleans Saints released wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Wednesday, giving the veteran a chance to land elsewhere. The 32-year-old pass catcher has recorded just 19 receptions this season for 165 yards despite appearing in every game. The departure of Cooks opens the door for Devaughn Vele and Mason Tipton to see expanded roles behind Chris Olave in the Saints' wide receiver room. Vele grabbed an 87% snap share last week, despite converting just one of three targets for 15 yards. Look for the Saints to heavily lean on Olave and running back Alvin Kamara as rookie quarterback Tyler Shough builds his confidence in just his third career start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons

Brandin Cooks Headed for Increased Role After Teammate's Trade

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks will take on an increased workload after Rashid Shaheed was traded to the Seattle Seahawks. Cooks is expected to operate as the Saints' No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave for the rest of the season, starting with Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran is likely second or third in the pecking order for targets, working behind Olave and perhaps tight end Juwan Johnson, too. While New Orleans' offense has struggled this season, they've also been playing from behind in most of their games, creating additional volume for the passing game, led by Tyler Shough. An uptick in targets could be enough to generate low-end WR3/flex appeal for Cooks in deeper leagues. He's a solid speculative stash in deep formats, while managers in leagues with 12 or fewer teams can keep an eye on him.

Brandin Cooks Could be on the Move

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks could be dealt ahead of the trade deadline. The Saints season isn't going anywhere, so they might as well get something for the veteran wideout. If traded, Cooks would make history as the most traded player before the deadline. Ahead of Week 8, Cooks has 14 receptions for 127 receiving yards and has been held out of the end zone. The 32-year-old hasn't experienced much success in 2025, but can still contribute in this league. The Saints offense has struggled badly, so a move elsewhere should help Cooks' value.

Brandin Cooks Could be Losing Playing Time in New Orleans

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks has recorded 12 catches for 103 yards on 16 targets across five games so far this season. The 32-year-old has served as the team's WR3 alongside Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, but if Week 5 is any indication, Cooks could be losing playing time. In Week 5, Cooks played just five more offensive snaps than Saints wideout Devaughn Vele after playing 56 more offensive snaps than Vele in Week 4. In Week 6, the Saints will take on the New England Patriots, who rank fifth-worst in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.2) through five games. Still, Cooks appears unlikely to see enough target volume to be fantasy relevant and could be losing playing time altogether in New England. Cooks should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6.

Brandin Cooks Off Fantasy Radars for Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks returns to the Big Easy after previously playing with the team from 2014-2016. Last year in Dallas, he caught 26 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. Cooks was named one of eight team captains ahead of Week 1 against the Cardinals and is listed as a starter. However, he'll have to compete with Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and star running back Alvin Kamara for targets while second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler is under center. For fantasy purposes, Cooks should be off radars, with only slight appeal if any of the primary pass-catchers miss time.

Brandin Cooks Returns To The Big Easy

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks has inked a two-year, $13 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, per Mike Garafolo. The 31-year-old returns to the team that drafted him. Cooks was plagued by a knee injury in 2024 -- an MCL sprain that evolved into an infection -- forcing him from seven games. Still, he was the team's clear No. 2 wideout ahead of Jalen Tolbert when healthy. Despite the time missed, he scored the third-most receiving touchdowns (three) of any Cowboys pass-catcher. Whether or not Cooks will make an impact in fantasy is unclear. However, he provides a valuable second option on the field alongside teammate Chris Olave, with Rashid Shaheed's (knee) status undetermined after a mid-season meniscus injury.

Brandin Cooks Struggles In Season Finale

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team with nine targets in Sunday's 23-19 loss to Washington. Despite the heavy volume, Cooks struggled to produce. He caught just three passes for 15 yards and added a rush for a five-yard loss. The veteran was not on the same page as quarterback Trey Lance, who missed him in the end zone multiple times. The 31-year-old has a voidable contract going into the offseason, so there is a chance that he has played his final game with Dallas.
