Who Should I Start? Brandin Cooks or Terry McLaurin

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks was waived by the organization on Saturday. The two sides mutually agreed to part ways earlier this week, but the move is official now. The veteran wideout is now a free agent and could draw some interest from teams in playoff contention. Through 10 games, Cooks hauled in 19 of his 25 targets for 165 receiving yards with zero touchdowns this season. The 32-year-old hasn't contributed much the last few seasons, but could still help as a depth option on a playoff team. The departure of Cooks could mean more playing time for Devaughn Vele and Mason Tipton.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) is working on the side of the team's Thursday practice with athletic trainers after missing Wednesday's practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. Despite McLaurin's appearance at practice, the Commanders have already ruled him out for Week 11's game at Miami. The former Ohio State standout will have missed seven games heading into a Week 12 bye, part of a nightmarish year for a Washington team coming off a run to last season's NFC Championship Game. McLaurin has been one of fantasy football's bigger disappointments in 2025, but with a return seemingly likely in Week 13, he could be a welcome addition for managers making a playoff push.
