NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Buffalo Bills

The Patriots have the highest implied team total in Vegas this week at 29.5 points, and the Bills defense is a run funnel, ranking sixth in aFPA versus WRs but dead last in aFPA versus RBs. Cooks managed just 2 receptions against the Bills a couple weeks ago. Looking at his stat lines over the past month, he's needed a touchdown to produce WR2 numbers or better. He's a risky play, but that's what you get with Cooks. The upside can't be ignored in this offense. Start him expecting WR2 numbers but knowing both a higher ceiling and lower floor are in his wide range of outcomes.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Despite the loss in Miami last week, the Patriots are still favored in Pittsburgh with the second-highest implied team total in Vegas this week at 28.25 points. Over the past four weeks, the Steelers have also allowed the eighth-most yards to receivers. And during that span, they are tied for the most touchdowns allowed to wideouts (6). Brandin Cooks is in a good spot, despite catching only 1-of-7 targets last week. Consider him a WR2, at worst, in Week 15.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Miami Dolphins

The Patriots have the highest implied team total for Week 14 with 29 points. Chris Hogan is back this week, but Rob Gronkowski is also suspended. That means Cooks' volume should be safe. He had an off week in Week 13, but his overall body of work is encouraging for the fantasy postseason. The Dolphins are around league average in aFPA to WRs, but Cooks did well against this secondary last season (6-83-1). He's locked in as a WR1 in Week 14.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Buffalo Bills

In a week with relatively low over/unders across the board in Vegas, the Patriots and Bills have the highest at 48.5 points with the Patriots having the second-highest implied team total at 28.5 points. That's a good sign for Patriots receivers. Cooks is a top-five WR this week due to these factors and the Bills being just around league average in aFPA versus WRs. He has back-to-back 20+ point weeks. Enjoy the hot streak.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Miami Dolphins

Patriots targets over their past two games with Chris Hogan out (which appears will be the case again this week): Brandin Cook-20, Danny Amendola-13, Rob Gronkowski-10, Rex Burkhead-9, Martellus Bennett-6. Cooks has emerged as the preferred target of Tom Brady and gets a matchup this week in which the Patriots have the highest implied team total in Vegas of 32 points. Start Cooks with confidence.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Oakland Raiders (game in Mexico City)

Atrapa la fiebre de la fantasía. That translates to "Catch the fantasy fever", as the Patriots and Raiders square off in Mexico. Chris Hogan is doubtful again this week, meaning Cooks should again see an uptick in targets. This is also a Raiders team that Cooks put up 6-143-2 against last season with the Saints. His ceiling is not that high in this offense, as Tom Brady spreads it around, but Cooks has 19 targets in his past two games, making him a solid WR2 in Week 11.

NE WR Brandin Cooks - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Denver Broncos

With Chris Hogan likely out, Brandin Cooks' targets should see an increase. It's not a great matchup, as Denver is third in our aFPA vs. WR rankings, but given the efficiency of the Patriots, Cooks is still a viable WR2 in Week 10.
