Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or JuJu Smith-Schuster

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 2 win over the New York Jets with an MCL sprain he suffered in the season opener. There's no guarantee that Cooks will be active this weekend in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, but the fact that he's back at practice is a good sign early in the week. With Cooks inactive on Sunday, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup both played 72% of the offensive snaps, with Jalen Tolbert checking in third at 68%. Cooks is feeling great and expects to play against Arizona, but we'll have a better idea of his availability later this week. In his Cowboys debut in Week 1, he caught just two of four passes for 22 yards in a 40-0 blowout win over the New York Giants.

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in five of six targets for just 28 yards against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night. He played 59 percent of snaps, splitting opportunities with Kendrick Bourne while DeVante Parker (100 percent) and Hunter Henry (92 percent) dominated the receiving attack. Post-Week 1 rumors exposed the Patriots' lack of trust in Smith-Schuster, which has now been on display for two consecutive games. He's a fantasy WR5 who can be left on waivers in many formats.
