Brandin Cooks to Have Role in Week 4 Given 49ers Injuries

Saturday, October 3, 8:24 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks is expected to make his debut in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Cooks signed with the 49ers' practice squad, was promoted to the active roster on Thursday, and is set to play Sunday. The veteran receiver played 15 games with the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills last season, hauling in 24 of 36 targets for 279 yards and no touchdowns. With Mike Evans (ribs) questionable and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), and Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve, Cooks will likely slot in alongside Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watson, and Jacob Cowing. While he faces a difficult test against the Broncos' stout secondary, Cooks could be a receiver to watch if he has success in Week 4.

Jordan Addison Returns to Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 8, 12:08 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Addison missed practice on Wednesday with hamstring soreness, but it appears he is trending towards being active for Minnesota's Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Across four games this season, the 24-year-old has recorded 11 catches for 163 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Most of his production has come in the last two weeks, when star Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson (ankle) has been sidelined by an ankle injury. Jefferson could be in line to return for Minnesota in Week 5, which would definitely impact Addison's fantasy outlook. If Jefferson is unable to play, Addison profiles as a likely starter for fantasy managers in three-wide receiver league formats.
