Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Jordan Love

Monday, September 16, 10:04 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks couldn't get into much of a rhythm on Sunday, just like the rest of the offense in a disappointing 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Cooks caught both of his targets for 19 yards with his longest reception clocking in at 11 yards. Outside of CeeDee Lamb with his touchdown, the next best receiver in this contest was Jalen Tolbert who received nine targets and turned it into six receptions for 82 yards. For Cooks and all of the receivers behind Lamb, their fantasy value is going to be game script-dependent. The veteran wideout projects to be more of a boom-or-bust flex option as the season rolls on. Cooks and company will take on a Baltimore Ravens team looking for their first win in Week 3.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that ideally if quarterback Jordan Love (knee) were to play in Week 3 at the Tennessee Titans, Love would practice at least a little since it will have been two weeks without doing anything on the field since injuring his knee in the Week 1 loss in Brazil to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old is dealing with an MCL sprain in his left knee and facing an uphill battle to be ready in Week 3. A report surfaced on Sunday morning stating that Love is targeting a return in Week 5 on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, so it would be a surprise if he's back on the field this weekend. Fantasy managers need to prepare for a few more absences. Malik Willis will most likely take on his old team, the Titans, in Week 3 after leading Green Bay to a Week 2 win over the Colts by going 12-for-14 for 122 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.
