Brandin Cooks to Have Role in Week 4 Given 49ers Injuries

Saturday, October 3, 8:24 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks is expected to make his debut in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Cooks signed with the 49ers' practice squad, was promoted to the active roster on Thursday, and is set to play Sunday. The veteran receiver played 15 games with the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills last season, hauling in 24 of 36 targets for 279 yards and no touchdowns. With Mike Evans (ribs) questionable and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), and Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve, Cooks will likely slot in alongside Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watson, and Jacob Cowing. While he faces a difficult test against the Broncos' stout secondary, Cooks could be a receiver to watch if he has success in Week 4.

Stefon Diggs Profiles as Strong WR2 in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 8:11 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs could be in line for an even bigger target share in Week 4 against the Colts, with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) expected to be sidelined. Diggs has gotten off to a strong start in Washington, drawing at least six targets in all three games and catching three touchdowns. The 32-year-old wideout still isn't quite running a full route share, but he did spike to a season-high 77.1% after dipping down to 52.4% in Week 2. Diggs could be set up for a strong day against a leaky Colts secondary that has allowed the third most passing yards per game (276) and the fourth most yards per pass attempt (7.8). Diggs should be fired up as a high-end WR2 in one of the higher-scoring projected matchups of the week.
