Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is going on Injured Reserve on Saturday, which means he will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Cowboys moved linebacker Nick Vigil to the active 53-man. Amani Oruwariye and Carl Lawson are also being elevated from the practice squad. Cooks had already been ruled out for Week 5's Sunday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but now he won't be eligible to return until Week 10 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys have their bye in Week 7. This news certainly makes Jalen Tolbert more attractive as a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, as he's expected to see a substantial role increase as the WR2 in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb with Cooks sidelined. Cooks caught nine of 19 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown in the first four weeks of the season.

Despite Kirk Cousins throwing for 276 yards and four touchdown passes on Sunday, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was not a beneficiary in the 31-26 win over the Bucs. The 23-year-old caught four of six targets for 34 scoreless yards. It was the first time he failed to find the end zone since Week 4, but it was also the seventh straight game in which the 6-foot-4 wideout garnered at least six targets, so he should have no problem bouncing back. The former first-round draft pick will get an opportunity to do so next week when the Falcons take on a weak Cowboys defense in Atlanta.
