The question marks surrounding Brandin Cooks have made for some of the toughest fantasy football questions to this point of the season. Nevertheless, in this post our focus will be on Brandin Cooks fantasy football ranking for Week 10.
After he wasn’t traded before the deadline, Brandin Cooks sat out for the past two weeks with some minor injuries. But late Saturday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced that Cooks was set to suit up for the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
With the questions surrounding Cooks and his willingness to suit up for the Texans looming, let’s take a look at his fantasy football rankings for Week 10.
Brandin Cooks Fantasy Football Ranking For Week 10
Per our Stokastic weekly receiver rankings, Brandin Cooks ranks as the No. 21 receiver on the board, and projects out at 11.77 points using our NFL Player Compare tool.
Cooks missed practice along with the Nov. 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles after he wasn’t given the opportunity to leave for a contender at the deadline. At that time, people close to the situation indicated that the Texans were just giving the star receiver some time to clear his head.
“Don’t take a man’s kindness for granted,” Cooks tweeted three minutes after the trade deadline passed. “Covered for the lies for too long those days are done. Crossed the line with playing with my career.”
Cooks has started seven games this season, hauling in 32 receptions on 55 targets for 354 yards and a touchdown. He’ll likely re-gain his role as the top option for quarterback Davis Mills on Sunday.
“Man, I’m human,” Cooks said on Nov. 10, in his first comments go the media since he’d returned to the team. “I’m frustrated, absolutely. I want to win. That’s not the case. That’s what’s going on. That’s the way I express my emotions.
Despite his frustration, the expectation is that Cooks will still be a vital part of Houston’s talent-thin offense for as long as he’s on the field.
