Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or George Pickens

Sunday, January 4, 3:37 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Brandin Cooks (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. He is a healthy scratch after he didn't carry an injury designation into this weekend. Cooks had the best game of his short Bills tenure last week, catching four passes for 101 yards. Now, he'll have a chance to rest before Buffalo embarks on its playoff run. Keon Coleman is active following a two-game absence and will take Cooks' place in the lineup. Coleman will join Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers, and Gabe Davis as the Bills' active receivers on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens rebounded last week against the Chargers after a two-game lull entering Week 16. Pickens racked up seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 16, marking his fifth game with at least 130 receiving yards, tied with Puka Nacua for the most in the league. It's been a tremendous first season in Dallas for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, ranking as the WR4 in PPR points. He gets another opportunity to add to his career highs in various receiving stats on Christmas Day against a porous Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to wide receivers. Pickens should be fired up again as a borderline WR1 in Week 17.
