Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Khalil Shakir

Saturday, November 23, 4:27 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. The veteran receiver has been on injured reserve since Week 4, and he'll have to wait at least one more week before returning to the mix. Through four games earlier in the season, Cooks caught nine passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. He figures to operate as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver once he's healthy, but until then, that role belongs to Jalen Tolbert. Cooks could struggle to deliver meaningful production while catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught eight of 12 targets for 70 yards in the team's 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The slot receiver led the Bills in targets, receptions, and yards. However, he did not find the endzone. Buffalo's lone passing touchdown went in Curtis Samuel's direction. Shakir hasn't scored since Week 3. Still, he's been Allen's go-to receiver this season and will be in the WR2/3 range when Buffalo returns from their bye week.
