Brandin Cooks a Boom/Bust Dart Throw Going into Divisional Round

Friday, January 16, 11:30 PM

Buffalo Bills veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks was traded from the New Orleans Saints to Buffalo late in the 2025 season. In his five regular-season games with the Bills, Cooks caught five of 11 targets for 114 yards. The 32-year-old deep threat has seven receptions on 11 targets for 159 yards in the last two games against the Eagles and Jaguars, though. He caught three of five targets for 58 yards in the Wild-Card win over the Jaguars, with most of his yardage coming on a 36-yard pickup. Cooks relies on chunk gains deep down the field, which could be a problem against a solid Denver Broncos' defense in the Divisional Round on Saturday. The Bills will need Cooks to step up, though, with both Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) out with torn ACLs. Denver's defense gave up the fifth-fewest half-PPR points per game to WRs during the regular season and tied with the Eagles for the fewest TDs allowed at six.

Sean Mannion News

Eagles Hiring Sean Mannion as New Offensive Coordinator

Thursday, January 29, 5:48 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles are hiring Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 33-year-old was drafted in the third round in 2015, and he spent four years with the Rams, three seasons with the Vikings, and one year with the Seattle Seahawks. In 14 career appearances, he made three starts and threw for 573 yards, one touchdown, and three picks. Mannion got his coaching start in the NFL as an offensive assistant under Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, and he was promoted to QBs coach in 2025. He's credited with the development of backup Malik Willis in Green Bay, and now he'll be asked to help fix an Eagles offense that went stagnant in 2025. It's unclear if head coach Nick Sirianni will leave Mannion in charge of play-calling duties.
