Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is going on Injured Reserve on Saturday, which means he will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Cowboys moved linebacker Nick Vigil to the active 53-man. Amani Oruwariye and Carl Lawson are also being elevated from the practice squad. Cooks had already been ruled out for Week 5's Sunday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but now he won't be eligible to return until Week 10 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys have their bye in Week 7. This news certainly makes Jalen Tolbert more attractive as a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, as he's expected to see a substantial role increase as the WR2 in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb with Cooks sidelined. Cooks caught nine of 19 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown in the first four weeks of the season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua returned in a big way on Thursday night to help the team beat the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 30-20. While he may not have made a trip to the end zone, Nacua finished with seven receptions for 106 yards on nine targets and received two carries for five yards. Right away, even with Cooper Kupp back in the fold, Nacua was Matthew Stafford's top target. He didn't show many signs of rust or lingering pain, so Nacua should be back in fantasy lineups moving forward if he wasn't already.
