Brandin Cooks - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

Brandin Cooks - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Brandin Cooks fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Brandin Cooks for fantasy football lineups?

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex

In Week 1, Cooks demonstrated his potential by securing four catches on seven targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. This solid performance highlights his role as a key player in the Cowboys' passing game, and his touchdown reception shows that he can capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Notably, Cooks is positioned as the No. 2 receiving option in the Dallas offense, which further enhances his fantasy appeal by ensuring consistent target volume and significant involvement in the game plan.

Additionally, the matchup against the Saints could provide Cooks with further opportunities to excel. The Saints defense, while formidable, has shown vulnerability to explosive plays and deep threats, areas where Cooks typically shines.

With his ability to stretch the field and make big plays, Cooks is well-positioned to exploit any weaknesses in the Saints secondary.

Given his recent performance, his role as a primary receiving option, and the favorable matchup, Cooks is likely to be a strong fantasy asset this week, making him a solid choice for managers looking to boost their lineup. Cooks can be viewed as a solid flex play this week.

Kenneth Gainwell, Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17
