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 will be a healthy inactive for the Monday Night Football game against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 15, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. It's the second straight game that Wilson will sit on the sidelines without dealing with an injury. It coincides with the team picking up veteran Adam Thielen for WR depth behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 has only 12 receptions on the year on 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games in his second year in the NFL. In addition to Thielen, the Steelers have added veteran wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their active roster, pushing Wilson further down the WR depth chart in Pittsburgh.
