Cooks
 

I should know how our own team will use him but is he worth it to jump on in 9th round for a WR3?

Re: Cooks
 

I am predicting Cooks to put up numbers similar to Julio Jones. I know this is a bold prediction but I am greatly taking into account who is throwing him the ball and who is valling the plays. Reggie Bush had 90 catches as a rookie. I wouldnt let Cooks go past the third or fouth round. He is not a WR3 either. He will lead the Saints WR receiving yardage for sure as well as start every game.

Re: Cooks
 

I'll take him as a #3 in a heartbeat, but the way he's shooting up draft rankings, if he shows out in preseason, he may not be there in the bigger leagues.

Re: Cooks
 

He should provide excellent value btw rounds 8-10. If you're playing in a league with a bunch of homer Saints fans, you'll see him go much higher.

I think 80 catches 800-900 yards with 6-7 touchdowns are realistic expectations. If he breaks a few long ones, he'll go over 1,000 yards.

Re: Cooks
 

The only other saints fan in the league is McLaughlin(from ESPN) and he's appearing to be a no show this year as I have heard nothing from him. I'm thinking he might be deployed. But thats another topic and a bit off topic.

Re: Cooks
 

While I love Cooks and i know the Saints have a track record of bringing along rookie receivers quickly but I just don't like picking rookie receivers until late rounds

Re: Cooks
 

Easy answer is - Yes!!! :bng:

Re: Cooks
 

Oh well the other saints guy showed up so he may be drafting tomorrow. I may have to pass on him. I have Rodgers as keeper and will need to go after Murray, Bell, Lacy, or AP in rd 2, probably get a WR in rd 3 between Jeffery and Cobb, and then Gore in rd 4, before hoping I land Patterson in 5 or DJac. If neither are there then I will get Cooks. I may go Gore in 3 and take Patterson instead of Cobb and then get DJac or Cooks in 5. I'd be taking a big ballsy risk on him there.

This dude is Steve Smith gone Super Saiyan.

Re: Cooks
 

The name that keeps me up when it comes to drafting is Cooks... and then Andre Williams.... I think any squad with these two around them is gonna be magical....

he is so freaking quick

Re: Cooks
 

He deserves a contract from whom ever can keep him in his shoes.

Re: Cooks
 

Well so far Cooks had a nice week 1 but I don't believe he is Brees' redzone target. I don't want to say I wasted my 6th on him just yet. He was a intended WR3 but he's going to need to score or I'm gonna trade him to the other saints guy in the league.

Re: Cooks
 

I'm starting him this week.

Re: Cooks
 

I am too. Who was Rhodes on last week? That might be why but you'd think we would have been explosive in the dome against Minnesota. I mean if he did not get Rhodes and could not light it up at home, its not a lock he'll get in the endzone against Dallas.

Re: Cooks
 

While Rhodes was covering Cooks, Drew through to him 3 times, Cooks caught two but for only 7 total yards. Cooks was catchin a lot of short stuff. He was Drew's dump off guy.

He didn't do much against Cleveland but he had a good game against Atlanta.

I also like the fact that he can get a couple carries each game too.

Re: Cooks
 

Well that didn't work out very well at all, but I'm not giving up on him yet. That was a cluster of a game, hopefully the Saints will get it together.

I've never pretended my homerism doesn't effect my Fantasy teams. :)

Re: Cooks
 

What I noticed was he's not a home run threat to me. He made a catch in the Dallas game and then proceeded to go backwards and not keep going forward toward the endzone. That's something I didn't like. He needs to start showing he can be an explosive receiver.

Re: Cooks
 

I feel bad for him. He thought he was coming to a 2014 super bowl contender. He must be just as disappointed as the rest of us.
