Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Andrei Iosivas

Wednesday, November 26, 12:45 AM

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.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had only one catch for 29 yards in the Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, the lone reception at least resulted in a trip to the end zone. Joe Burrow (toe) returned from his stint on the Injured Reserve list. While Mitchell Tinsley was targeted nine times, second on the team behind Ja'Marr Chase (14), Iosivas still did a little something for those who had him in their fantasy lineup. With that said, if Tee Higgins is out again in Week 14 versus the Bills, there will be extra targets up for grabs behind Chase. Although Iosivas could continue to have a higher ceiling if that's the case, the added involvement from Tinsley over the last few weeks should be a concern for fantasy managers.
