Read Brandin Cooks's fantasy football outlook for Week 4 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Cooks has been largely a revelation to begin the fantasy season, even with the perceived poor QB play. He has been the entire Texans passing attack so far with 32 targets over the first three games and back-to-back games with nine receptions. He is also top three in the league in both receptions (23) and yards (322). This kind of production makes Cooks a surefire starter in fantasy, right? Wrong. He could be set up for a disappointing game in Week 4 as the Texans will be facing a Bills secondary that currently ranks as the top unit in points allowed to receivers (12.9 FPPG). The game script could be in Cooks' favor as the team will be trailing in this game, but his matchup individually against Tre'Davious White could make for a long day.

That’s especially true in Week 5, where several fantasy-relevant players are walking into situations that could completely change their outlook. This is the week to trust the numbers, attack the favorable matchups, and stop letting reputation make […]

While he was previously the unquestioned WR1 of his offense, the emergence of younger players and the signing of a quality veteran wideout have crushed his upside. Through four games, Sutton, despite being healthy for all contests, is just the […]
Wide receiver is where fantasy managers can get burned by chasing last week’s box score. In Week 5, I’m leaning heavily into opportunity, matchup, and underlying usage rather than simply trusting the names we drafted in August. Michael Wilson and Malik Nabers are walking into situations I want to attack, while some bigger names have […]
Hey RotoBallers! Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off in just 48 hours, so it's time to start setting the next round of our lineups. With many injuries and the first set of bye weeks beginning, managers need to be even more careful when constructing their lineups. Below, we will look at one player […]
Running back is all about opportunity, but opportunity means a lot more when the matchup is right. In Week 5, several backs are walking into situations where volume, game script, and defensive weaknesses could create monster fantasy performances. Jaylen Warren and Chase Brown are two names I’m especially interested in this week, and both have […]
