Brandin Cooks Strong Success Continues

In The Blitz, RotoViz writers react to the latest news and help you place it within the context of our 2020 research and recommendations.

The Houston Texans may be off to a rough start this season, but there are still multiple fantasy-relevant options available on their offense. Spearheaded by quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Texans are three games into the post-Bill O’Brien era. The results on offense have been tangible. Picking up their first win back in Week 5, multiple players are enjoying their best games of the season to date. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks continued his strong success in Week 7.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks didn’t find the end zone in Sunday’s loss to the Packers, breaking a two-game scoring streak. But Cooks did catch seven passes for 60 yards in the loss, putting up another solid line. Cooks has arguably been the biggest beneficiary of the team’s in-season head coaching change, and he should be considered a WR3 play going forward.

Career Reset … Again

Cooks has been a fascinating player to follow throughout his career. On his fourth team in his seventh season in the league, he famously strung together four seasons of top-15 finishes at the wide receiver position … with three different teams. It didn’t matter who his quarterback was or what his offensive scheme was. Regardless of where he went, all Cooks did was produce.
