Texans expect WR Brandin Cooks (neck) back for Week 15

Dec 15, 2020

Texans veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks, dealing with a sore neck, is expected to return this week after being sidelined Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Randall Cobb is expected to remain on injured reserve and not play again this year. Cobb said in a telephone interview Friday he is contemplating whether to have surgery on his toe.

Related players: Keke Coutee, Chad Hansen, DeShaun Watson

Fantasy Impact:

We reported the news about Cobb on Monday. But the return of Cooks is good news for Watson, who should get a little fantasy boost with Cooks in the lineup. The Texans were running with Coutee and Hansen as the top-two WRs in Week 14, but both should move down a spot with the return of Cooks. Hansen ran out of the slot at times in Week 14, according to reports.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
