Brandin Cooks News

Brandin Cooks Signed to 49ers Active Roster

Thursday, October 1, 12:25 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have signed veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks from their practice squad to their active roster, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The 49ers wide receiver room has been ravaged by injuries so far this year, with Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for the season and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) both currently on Injured Reserve. The injuries don't stop there, as WR1 Mike Evans (rib) and depth piece KhaDarel Hodge (knee) are both questionable for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos. If Evans and/or Hodge are unable to play against Denver, Cooks would join wideouts Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowings as the top complementary options to Deebo Samuel Sr. The 33-year-old Cooks recorded 24 catches for 279 yards on 36 targets across 15 games split between the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills in 2025. In deeper fantasy leagues, he could be worth a speculative add given the injury situation in San Francisco.

Skyy Moore News

Skyy Moore a Sneaky Waiver-Wire Pickup Amid Growing Role

Tuesday, September 29, 4:28 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Skyy Moore has seen his involvement in the offense grow with each passing week through the first three weeks of the 2026 campaign. Moore played just four offensive snaps in the season-opening loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings and failed to catch his lone target. In the Week 2 overtime win over the New York Jets, the 26-year-old played 36% of the offensive snaps and caught two of three targets for six yards. Moore's role expanded even more in Thursday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, as he played 52% of the offensive snaps and caught three of his seven targets for 31 yards with fellow wideout Jayden Reed (neck) sidelined. The Packers are still unsure if Reed will even return at all in 2026, so Moore could become an interesting WR3 option for the Packers' passing game behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, especially with Green Bay's ground game going nowhere. The former second-rounder by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 from Western Michigan caught 43 passes for 494 yards in his first two years in KC, but it came with only one touchdown, and he quickly fell out of favor with the Chiefs. Right now, Moore is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues.
