Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Justin Jefferson

Friday, September 22, 7:30 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report, meaning he will make his return against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooks suffered an MCL sprain in the season opener and was held out of the Week 2 win over the New York Jets. The Cowboys didn't need to throw the ball in the 40-0 blowout over the New York Giants in Week 1, so Cooks had just two receptions for 22 yards in his Cowboys debut. The same could be true this Sunday against the 0-2 Cardinals, so Cooks isn't exactly an intriguing flex play for fantasy managers this weekend while coming off a knee injury.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to keep up his strong start to the season in Week 4 against the Panthers, who have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards this season. Jefferson has logged games of 150, 159, and 149 receiving yards to start the 2023 campaign, as he has paced the entire NFL in receiving yardage to this point. He has just one touchdown up to this point which has put a cap on his production, but there is no reason to believe that he isn't capable of putting up better numbers in this department considering his talent level and role in the offense. Fantasy managers can once again treat the former LSU Tiger as one of the most valuable fantasy assets in Week 4.
