New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks missed his second straight practice with an illness and fever on Tuesday, prompting coaches to keep him inside.

This season, Saints WR Kenny Stills will team with first-round draft pick Brandin Cooks to give the Saints elite speed at receiver. Their ability to stretch defenses, coupled with Marques Colston and Robert Meachem's knack for finding openings in schemes, should help tight end Jimmy Graham better operate around the field.

Now that he's back, Stills is back to improving on his rookie season where his speed helped him catch 32 passes for 641 yards and five touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

Stills returns from a quad injury but missed out on team building at The Greenbrier in West Virginia and missed out on getting in better shape. Even missed offensive snaps with QB Drew Brees. Stills and Cooks were close on our WR list at one opint, but now Cooks shot up to 34th while Stills is 44th. Just about anyone in the Saints offense can have value but the downfall is there could be some boom and bust weeks with both Cooks and Stills.

Saints WR Joe Morgan is in a dogfight, though for the fourth and fifth roster spots with Nick Toon and veteran Robert Meachem (also known for his combination of excellent blocking and deep speed). It’s hard to imagine the Saints will keep all three of them, since they typically keep only four receivers active on game days. But it’s also hard to imagine any of the three getting cut just yet.

Fantasy Impact:

Morgan has been catching up and making this more of a battle. From a fantasy perspective, there isn't really any consistent value here as the top-three of Marques Colston, Kenny Still and Brandin Cooks should see a bulk of the snaps at WR.

Saints Beat: We really aren't 'overhyping' WR Brandin Cooks

Saints beat writer Mike Triplett: Nobody needed replay to see rookie receiver Brandin Cooks put on another dazzling display later in team drills. Cooks reeled in a touchdown pass of more than 50 yards from Luke McCown by leaping up and outdueling safety Pierre Warren for the ball. He later ran free behind the third-string defense to catch another deep ball from QB Logan Kilgore. As I've said many times, we really aren't overhyping Cooks. He simply keeps makes the biggest highlights on an almost-daily basis. I didn't think he'd be in a position to catch the deep ball against Warren, but sure enough, he rose to the challenge.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks's ADP has risen into the late 6th round in PPR formats, going ahead of more established players like Marques Colston, Mike Wallace and Golden Tate. While this is too rich for our blood, there's no doubt that Cooks has had a tremendous offseason and has quite a bit of upside in the Saints' potent offense. Other than typical rookie growing pains, we're worried about the team's spread-it-around style supporting the current expectations for the young receiver.
