Trends

"Cooks reunited with the Saints -- the team that drafted him in 2014 -- after bouncing around the league (four stops) since departing New Orleans in 2017. The former first-round pick has had his stretches of WR2 production (seven of 11 seasons have resulted in a top-25 finish in fantasy PPG), but he hasn't had a finish better than 37th since 2021 and he fell to a career-low 76th in 2024. Now 31 years old, Cooks is expected to slide in as the Saints' No. 3 receiver behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. He'll likely see a handful of targets most weeks, but consistent fantasy output is a long shot, especially with Spencer Rattler and/or rookie Tyler Shough under center. Cooks is worth consideration only in the late rounds."

"Cooks once again operated as the Saints' WR3, finishing tied with RB1 Alvin Kamara for fourth on the team in targets behind Rashid Shaheed (nine), Chris Olave (four) and tight end Juwan Johnson (four). Through nine games, the 32-year-old wideout has now averaged 2.1 catches for 18.3 receiving yards per game. Cooks has also yet to eclipse 26 yards in a game this season. New Orleans will next play at Carolina in Week 10 on Sunday."
