Bills' Brandin Cooks: Breaks out for 101 yards in Week 17
Cooks corralled four of six targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.
Cooks broke out in a big way after being held to one catch on five targets over his first four appearances with the Bills. The veteran wideout tallied his first 100-yard game since he was a member of the Cowboys back in 2023. Cooks finished behind only WR Khalil Shakir (6-35-0) for Buffalo in terms of targets and receptions in a game that starting TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed and WR Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch for. The 31-year-old Cooks' strong game may have helped solidify a role on offense for him as the Bills prepare to embark on a playoff run. If that scenario holds true, fantasy managers in deeper formats could benefit from rolling out Cooks against the Jets in Week 18, though it's worth noting the Bills may rest some key players in a finale that only affects seeding.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: No catches again Sunday
Cooks didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
Cooks has gone without a catch in each of the Bills' last three games, despite playing 59 offensive snaps during that span. The veteran wideout has appeared in 14 games with Buffalo and New Orleans this season, catching 20 of 30 targets for 178 yards. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Bills' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: Not on injury report
Cooks (undisclosed) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Cooks was spotted entering the X-ray room with trainers after Buffalo's win over the Patriots in Week 15, but he appears to have only been receiving a precautionary examination. The veteran wideout didn't record a catch versus New England, but his three targets were the second most on the team. He'll continue operating as a depth wideout for Buffalo in Sunday's road matchup against the Browns.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: No catches vs. New England
Cooks (undisclosed) failed to catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.
Although Cooks played 22 offensive snaps and logged the second-most targets of any Bills receiver in Sunday's win, he was seen heading to the X-ray room with trainers following the game, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. In three games with Buffalo, Cooks has caught just one of four targets for 13 yards. If he's able to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Browns, he'll likely remain a depth option in the team's receiving corps.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: Catchless in Week 14
Cooks failed to compile any stats while playing 23 snaps on offense in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.
Cooks saw one look from Josh Allen on the day, ultimately drawing a pass interference penalty on cornerback DJ Turner early in the third quarter, so it didn't qualify as a target officially. The wide receiver finished fourth on the team at his position in offensive snaps, sitting behind Gabe Davis (37), Tyrell Shavers (36) and Khalil Shakir (32) but ahead of Keon Coleman (18). Cooks figures to have limited upside moving forward while operating as low as he does on the depth chart.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: One catch in debut with Bills
Cooks caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.
In his first game with the Bills after signing on Nov. 25, Cooks was understandably not a huge part of Buffalo's offensive plans. The veteran wideout played just 17 of the Bills' 74 offensive snaps, the lowest total of any wide receiver who saw action on offense Sunday. Though it's possible that his role will grow as the regular season progresses toward its end, Cooks faces an uphill battle to see consistent usage in an offense that tends to spread the ball around. Nonetheless, the 32-year-old will look to get more involved when the Bills host the Bengals in Week 14.

Bills' Brandin Cooks: Finds new home in Buffalo
Cooks signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Tuesday.
Buffalo marks the sixth NFL stop for Cooks, who has turned in six 1,000-plus-yard receiving campaigns while spending time with the Saints, Patriots, Rams, Texans and Cowboys over his 12-year career. During his second stint in New Orleans this season, Cooks was limited to 19 receptions for 165 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets over 10 games before being cut last week. Though he'll benefit from a massive upgrade in quarterback play with the move to Buffalo, the 32-year-old wideout could struggle to see meaningful weekly target volume in a Josh Allen-led offensive attack that spreads the ball around to a number of pass catchers.

Brandin Cooks: Let go by New Orleans
The Saints waived Cooks (personal) on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The two sides mutually agreed to part ways earlier this week, and Saturday's transaction makes that official. The veteran wideout will hit the waiver wire, and he could garner interest from teams looking to add another pass-catching option for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Through 10 regular-season games with New Orleans, Cooks caught 19 passes (on 25 targets) for 165 yards.

Saints' Brandin Cooks: Ruled out while awaiting departure
Cooks (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Miami.
Cooks and the Saints mutually agreed earlier this week to part ways, but for now he's still on the team's roster. The reason for that, per Matthew Paras of nola.com, is that the two sides are working on adjusting his contract. It still seems to be a foregone conclusion that Cooks will hit the waiver wire in due time.

Brandin Cooks: Agrees to part ways with Saints
Cooks and New Orleans have mutually agreed to part ways Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Cooks has spent the majority of the 2025 campaign operating as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Saints, and though he seemed a likely candidate to be moved ahead of the NFL's trade deadline, the team instead opted to part ways with Rashid Shaheed. Now a free agent, the 32-year-old wideout figures to search for an opportunity to compete elsewhere in the league, likely targeting teams that are in better position to earn a playoff berth. Across 10 regular-season games, Cooks has hauled in 19 of 25 targets for 165 scoreless receiving yards.

Saints' Brandin Cooks: Catches two passes Week 9
Cooks tallied two receptions (on three targets) for 16 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.
Cooks once again operated as the Saints' WR3, finishing tied with RB1 Alvin Kamara for fourth on the team in targets behind Rashid Shaheed (nine), Chris Olave (four) and tight end Juwan Johnson (four). Through nine games, the 32-year-old wideout has now averaged 2.1 catches for 18.3 receiving yards per game. Cooks has also yet to eclipse 26 yards in a game this season. New Orleans will next play at Carolina in Week 10 on Sunday.

Saints' Brandin Cooks: Grabs three passes Week 8
Cooks recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's 23-3 defeat to the Buccaneers.
Cooks logged more than one catch and one target for the first time since Week 4. The Saints' passing offense saw an uptick in passing attempts (51) despite benching starter Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough in the third quarter. Cooks logged one fewer target than second-year wideout Devaughn Vele, while both played supplementary roles behind top three pass catchers Chris Olave (12), Rashid Shaheed (12) and tight end Juwan Johnson (eight). Fantasy managers should expect a similar dispersal of targets during the Week 8 contest versus the Rams on Sunday.

Saints' Brandin Cooks: Sees one target again Week 7
Cooks reeled in his only target for three yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears.
Cooks has now logged exactly one target three weeks in a row. While he has not been supplanted as the WR3, the 32-year-old has been overshadowed completely by Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and tight end Juwan Johnson, as these three were targeted on 23 of Spencer Rattler's 32 passing attempts. Jack-of-all-trades tight end Taysom Hill also logged two catches Sunday, representing just another pass-catcher to pull targets away from Cooks. The wideout should continue to fulfill a reserve role, even if he's in the starting lineup, during the Week 8 matchup versus Tampa Bay.

Saints' Brandin Cooks: Logs one target again
Cooks caught his only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 25-19 loss to the Patriots.
Cooks logged a season low in targets for the second week in a row. The 32-year-old has served as the Saints' No. 3 wideout this season, but his production has looked more like that of a WR4, as he's averaged 2.2 catches on 2.8 targets for 20.7 yards per game. His fantasy numbers should remain negligible so long as Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and TE1 Juwan Johnson are healthy moving forward. His next opportunity will come during the Week 7 matchup versus the Bears on Sunday, Sept. 19.
