Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Cooper Kupp

Thursday, September 21, 3:12 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is good to go for his second straight day of practice on Thursday after missing the Week 2 win over the New York Jets with an MCL injury. Cooks was officially listed as limited on Wednesday and will likely be given the same designation on Thursday. In the 40-0 blowout win over the New York Giants in Week 1, Cooks wasn't really needed and finished with just two catches on four targets for 22 yards. With him absence in Week 2, Michael Gallup played the same number of offensive snaps as CeeDee Lamb but caught just one pass for three yards. For what it's worth, Cooks expects to return this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in another game that probably won't require the Cowboys to air it out much.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) was unable to avoid the IR with his hamstring issue before the season started. According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN, head coach Sean McVay was reluctant to give a timeline and said that the Rams are "hopeful" that the star receiver can return by Week 5 as they previously planned. They knew that he would have to miss their first four games once they made the decision to move him to the IR, but his return in Week 5 isn't set in stone right now. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates as the tentative return date approaches.
