Start Of The Week: Brandin Cooks vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Davis Mills is good for Cooks. That’s really all there is to it. Cooks has had 17.9 PPR points (or more) in five of his nine games with Mills under center this season. He also has 10+ targets and 8+ catches in four of the last eight. Averaging a stiff 8.2 targets per game with Mills, it’s hard to bet against Cooks. Going up against a Jags team giving up the ninth-least fantasy points to opposing WRs (the same team he put up a season-high 132 yards against in week one) I’m gladly taking the over on his ESPN projection this week.
Others to consider: DK Metcalf (SEA) - @LAR, Tee Higgins (CIN) - @DEN, AJ Green (ARI) - @DET
Sit Of The Week: DJ Moore vs Buffalo Bills
He's played much more like himself lately (at least 14 PPR points in last three games). With a better QB situation, he’s the kind of guy I think is matchup-proof. Unfortunately, he has the QB situation he has. So here we are. It’s a very rare occasion when I tell you to sit a player like Moore. But today is one of those days. The Bills are dead last in fantasy points, and TDs allowed to opposing WRs this season. Last week, Mike Evans became the only receiver in 2021 to finish with WR1 points against them. Only difference is, DJ Moore doesn’t have Tom Brady. I'll be taking the under on his ESPN projection of 13.0 points this week.
Others to consider: Terry McLaurin (WAS) - @PHI, Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) - ARI, Cole Beasley (BUF) - CAR
