Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Roman Wilson

Wednesday, November 26, 12:45 AM

Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and figures to immediately factor into the Bills' plan at wide receiver in some capacity. The Bills have been tinkering with their wide receivers on the roster over the past few weeks, trying to find the right combination on the field. They signed the former Buffalo Bill Gabe Davis back to the roster along with former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman, but then he was placed on injured reserve with a calf injury. Second-year wideout Keon Coleman has served as a healthy inactive for the past two games for disciplinary reasons. Cooks will have an opportunity to make an impact, although it will take him some time to get up to speed. The veteran hasn't shown much in the past two seasons with the Saints and Cowboys, but he isn't too far removed from a solid 2023 season with the Cowboys, where he recorded 54 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns on eight targets in 16 games. Cooks could be worth monitoring over the next few weeks to see how he is integrated into the offense.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson failed to secure either of his targets in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. After logging a 57% snap share in Week 11, the second-year pro took the field for just 28% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III, whose playing time dipped the week prior, led the team in receiving with only 36 yards. There is still hope for Wilson down the stretch since no one in the Steelers' receiving corps has established consistent production. However, he's off the fantasy radar in redraft formats heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills.
