Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Chris Godwin

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report, meaning he will make his return against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooks suffered an MCL sprain in the season opener and was held out of the Week 2 win over the New York Jets. The Cowboys didn't need to throw the ball in the 40-0 blowout over the New York Giants in Week 1, so Cooks had just two receptions for 22 yards in his Cowboys debut. The same could be true this Sunday against the 0-2 Cardinals, so Cooks isn't exactly an intriguing flex play for fantasy managers this weekend while coming off a knee injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin made the most of his chances during the Week 4 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Heading into this game, Godwin has been mainly an afterthought in this offense. However, fellow wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was forced to exit early during this game. His absence made Godwin the centerpiece of this passing attack. He finished the game with eight receptions on 11 targets for 114 yards in the win. The Bucs have a bye next week, so hopefully Evans will be ready to go in time for the Week 6 matchup versus the Detroit Lions. Otherwise, Godwin will likely see an increase in usage if Evans misses time.
