Keenan Allen Goes Nuclear In Week 3

Sunday, September 24, 5:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had an enormous game in a Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Allen was targeted 20 times, making 18 catches for 215 yards. He also completed a 49-yard pass for a touchdown, the first of his career. Allen was projected to have a big game because of an excellent matchup against the Vikings zone defense, but he exceeded expectations in this one. He should have another big game in Week 4 at home against the Raiders. Allen remains a strong WR1 option every week.

Brandin Cooks Set To Return In Week 3

Friday, September 22, 7:30 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report, meaning he will make his return against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooks suffered an MCL sprain in the season opener and was held out of the Week 2 win over the New York Jets. The Cowboys didn't need to throw the ball in the 40-0 blowout over the New York Giants in Week 1, so Cooks had just two receptions for 22 yards in his Cowboys debut. The same could be true this Sunday against the 0-2 Cardinals, so Cooks isn't exactly an intriguing flex play for fantasy managers this weekend while coming off a knee injury.
