Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Stefon Diggs

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught just two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His underwhelming performance was likely the result of Drake Maye funneling a large portion of his pass attempts to the tight end position. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper combined for 10 catches, 154 yards, and one touchdown against a Bengals defense notorious for getting exposed by tight ends. Diggs saw his streak of five double-digit fantasy performances (PPR) come to an end on Sunday afternoon, but he's still a mid-range WR2 in terms of scoring this year. He should continue to be started in most leagues ahead of Week 13 against the New York Giants.
