Cooks can take the top off the defense and open the underneath routes across the middle. Drew will hit him often enough to keep the defense honest.

Gone are two of the Saints' top three leading receivers, with Jimmy Graham shipped to Seattle and Kenny Stills jettisoned to Miami. Marques Colston is the other player among the top Saints receivers from 2014. But Colston's health and age (32) will probably hamper him from again serving as a No. 1-type wideout in this offense.

That leaves Cooks, the Saints' first-round pick from 2014, as the most viable candidate to emerge as Brees' favorite and most prolific target this season.

Brees or Sean Payton likely won't bestow the No. 1 receiver role upon the former Oregon State standout. And no one would mistake Cooks for far more imposing No. 1 receivers such as Detroit's Calvin Johnson, Atlanta's Julio Jones, Dallas' Dez Bryant or Denver's Demaryius Thomas. Or even young studs like Buffalo's Sammy Watkins or Tampa Bay's Mike Evans from Cooks' draft class.

Sorry I had no idea I already talked about this ordeal before.

Can you implement a text format in posts?

I was on Hoopla and on the fantasy section many believe Cooks is gonna draw coverage. Its not the NFL of 2009 anymore.
