Brandin Cooks Off Fantasy Radars for Week 1

Saturday, September 6, 11:01 AM

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.

Adonai Mitchell Not a Strong Option in Week 2

Saturday, September 13, 8:24 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will take on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. Mitchell only played on 15 snaps in Week 1's win over the Miami Dolphins, catching both of his targets for 21 yards. The Broncos represent a difficult matchup for the Colts' pass-catchers this weekend as they shut down the Tennessee Titans' pass attack in Week 1. Mitchell is not playing enough to be trustworthy in fantasy and should remain on benches heading into Week 2.
