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.

Part of the Lions solution at WR last year was 6-foot-6 receiver Kris Durham, who played in all 16 games last season. Durham, in his fourth season out of Georgia, had 38 catches for 490 yards and two touchdowns last season. That was a huge jump from 2012, when he saw action in just four games and had eight grabs for 125 yards and a score.

After Nate Burleson’s injury and a lack of depth last year, Durham was pressed into a larger role in the offense. With Burleson’s departure to the Browns, the Lions made room to acquire Golden Tate in the offseason. Kevin Ogletree, who was acquired in the middle of the season, has helped with depth. In the draft, the Lions picked T.J. Jones in the sixth round, making for a crowded receiving corps.

That has made it tougher for Durham to hold off some of the younger receivers on the depth chart. Durham has had a solid training camp, but the decisions on which receivers to keep will be tough for first-year coach Jim Caldwell.

The Detroit Lions have a new reclamation project at wide receiver.

The Lions claimed former No. 26 overall draft pick Jon Baldwin off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, per Mike O'Hara of the Lions' official website and the NFL transaction wire.

Baldwin drew Vincent Jackson-like comparisons for his size and leaping ability coming out of Pitt, but he's struggled to get off the jam and separate from coverage in three NFL seasons.

Fantasy Impact: 

Still just 25 years old, Baldwin figures to battle Ryan Broyles, Jeremy Ross, Kevin Ogletree, Kris Durham and Pat Edwards for three roster spots behind Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate.

Cadwell: Golden Tate 'going to help us'

With the addition of former Seahawks receiver Golden Tate in the offseason, the Lions may have found the best complement for Calvin Johnson.

Though Tate was limited in spring practice because of a shoulder injury, he’s now at 100 percent and is looking to have a big year in an offensive skill group that looks to have higher expectations than at any time during Johnson’s career.

After the first week of training camp, Lions coach Jim Caldwell is happy to see the progression that Tate is making, coming off those injuries.

“He’s been good. He was out for a little bit during the spring,” Caldwell said. “Since he’s been back this fall, when we had the rookies and the injured vets, he was slow just a little bit, but since that time, he’s been doing an outstanding job.

“You can see he has the quickness, the speed and competitiveness. He’s going to help us.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Tate, in his fifth season out, is coming off a year where he put up career bests with 64 catches and 898 yards with Seattle last season and is looking to have another breakout year in his first with the Lions. The potential is certainly there to do that with Johnson drawing a lot of attention on the other side, as well as RB Reggie Bush a threat out of the backfield. We rank Tate 33rd at the moment but he's a guy who could end up as a decent WR2 option, perhaps especially in 12 team leagues.
