Brandin Cooks, WR, New Orleans Saints

Brandin Cooks absolutely should have been rostered prior to this week, but in case your league is full of the mouth-breathingest mouth-breathers this side of the Monongahela River, go and pick him up now. Now!

Kenny Stills may have been out, but it's clear Cooks is going to be a big part of Drew Brees' passing offense, an advantageous situation that easily has the potential to generate 10-plus targets per game (he had 8 in Week 1). Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston will eat up the coverage, leaving Cooks in the slot with single coverage to do his thing. He's a WR3 now, with higher upside once he gains experience as an NFL receiver.
