Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Stefon Diggs

Friday, March 21, 3:11 PM

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks has inked a two-year $13 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, per Mike Garafolo -- the 31-year-old returns to the team that drafted him. Cooks was plagued by a knee injury in 2024 -- an MCL sprain that evolved into an infection -- forcing him from seven games. Still, he was the team's clear No. 2 wideout ahead of Jalen Tolbert when healthy. Despite the time missed, he'd score the third-most receiving touchdowns (three) of any Cowboys pass-catcher. Whether or not Cooks will make an impact in fantasy is unclear. However, he provides a valuable second option on the field alongside teammate Chris Olave, with Rashid Shaheed's (knee) status undetermined after a mid-season meniscus injury.

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.
