Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is going on Injured Reserve on Saturday, which means he will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Cowboys moved linebacker Nick Vigil to the active 53-man. Amani Oruwariye and Carl Lawson are also being elevated from the practice squad. Cooks had already been ruled out for Week 5's Sunday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but now he won't be eligible to return until Week 10 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys have their bye in Week 7. This news certainly makes Jalen Tolbert more attractive as a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, as he's expected to see a substantial role increase as the WR2 in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb with Cooks sidelined. Cooks caught nine of 19 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown in the first four weeks of the season.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers overcame his ankle injury to suit up for Week 8 and he delivered yet another 100-yard performance. In the 29-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, he ended up with seven receptions for 115 yards on 12 targets. He didn't see any work in the ground game on this one, but he remained Lamar Jackson's top target out of all the pass-catchers. Flowers has tremendous value in PPR formats as he's posted three WR1 performances and had two without scoring a touchdown. He'll look to find the end zone in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
