Summary
A March trade brought Brandin Cooks to the Texans to bolster their wide receiver unit after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Arizona. This will be Cooks' fourth team in five years. Expectations are high for him to be Deshaun Watson's top target in 2020 thanks to a career that has seen him finish inside the top 15 four times in his six years in the league. He has topped 100 targets in four of the last five years but his production on the Rams diminished in 2019 with the presence of Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods stealing the majority of the thunder on offense. Cooks will have a chance to be the top dog in Houston, but he will likely share the limelight with Will Fuller and perhaps Randall Cobb. Cooks is a borderline WR2. If he proves to dominate the Texans in targets and receptions, he can be a solid every-week fantasy starter. (May 5)FBG Staff Rankings

Texans | Brandin Cooks confident in health (Fri Aug 7, 09:29 PM) - Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks said he has 'zero' concerns about his concussion history. 'For me, I'm not worried at all,' said Cooks. 'If there is any hesitation or worry, I wouldn't be here right now.' Our View: Cooks has had three known concussions over the last two seasons and five known concussions overall. He's with the Texans this year to help replace superstar WR DeAndre Hopkins. Cooks should play a ton of snaps for the Texans in 2020, providing fantasy value as a WR3 (WR31, 7.05) for Fantasy GMs this season.link to story
