Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. WR Nico Collins (groin) remained limited on Thursday.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. He's expected to play vs. the Giants this weekend -- if his health allows it. Cooks played through this wrist injury in Week 8. We'll see if he's able to practice tomorrow. WR Nico Collins (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday.
NFL Network's Steve Smith said he talked with Texans WR Brandin Cooks and that the veteran will be returning to the team ahead of the Week 10 game against the Giants. That's what we anticipated, given that Cooks is signed through 2024. Expect the wideout to get back to his role as lead target for Houston -- and WR3 for fantasy football lineups.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Eagles. Try to avoid Houston's passing game if you can help it. But if you're playing 1-game DFS contests, the Texans' WRs tonight are Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore, Tyron Johnson and Jalen Camp. Woof.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks is not expected to play tonight against the Eagles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cooks has not returned to team headquarters this week, while expressing disappointment over not being traded. Mike Garafolo reports that Cooks and the team will "continue to talk and try for a reset." We'll see where this situation goes, but Cooks' only option besides returning is to sit out in violation of his contract. We wouldn't drop Cooks from fantasy football rosters just yet if you can help it.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks' status for tonight's game vs. the Eagles is "in doubt," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "It's difficult to believe, given that Cooks hasn't been around all week, that he's going to play in this game, but no final determination on that just yet," Pelissero adds. Cooks didn't practice on Tuesday or Wednesday and publicly voiced displeasure over the fact that he wasn't traded. We'll get Houston's inactives around 7 pm ET tonight.
The Texans list WR Brandin Cooks as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Eagles. There is no injury challenging Cooks' availability. He has simply been away from the team for personal reasons this week, while Houston elected not to accept any trade offers for the veteran. It's not clear how the 2 sides will proceed. The Texans clearly want him to continue playing. Cooks has indicated he'd be happier elsewhere ... but also signed an extension before the season. We'll see about his status ahead of the Thursday night game. Houston also ruled WR Nico Collins (groin) out. So the passing game would be in real trouble (even more than usual) without Cooks.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce managed only 35 yards on his 15 carries in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He did score the team's lone TD, though, on a 3-yard reception in the 4th quarter. He totaled 3 catches for 16 yards among 5 targets, which tied for 2nd on the team. Only WR Brandin Cooks drew more (6), catching 4 balls for 73 yards. WR Phillip Dorsett tied Pierce's target count.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was added to the injury report on Friday but put in a full practice, so he should be ready for his usual role today.
The Texans are open to trading WR Brandin Cooks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Schefter lists the Giants, Rams and Vikings as potential suitors. We're not sure any of those destinations would help Cooks' 2022 fantasy value. Schefter notes that Cooks is due $18 million fully guaranteed next season, so that contract might need to be restructured for a deal to get done.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) is expected to play vs. the Titans. He was a late-week addition to the injury report and turned up questionable. He should be a good bet for targets with teammate Nico Collins out.
The Texans have downgraded WR Nico Collins (groin) to out for Sunday's game against the Titans. It's not a surprise. Collins missed practice all week, and HC Lovie Smith spoke about the injury as though a return was not imminent. We'll see whether Collins can make it back for the Week 9 meeting with Philadelphia. That's a Thursday night game, though, which won't help. WR Brandin Cooks gains target upside while Collins is out.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. He was added to the injury report on Friday but put in a full practice. We'll look for further updates on Cooks' status, but he can stay penciled into Week 8 fantasy lineups for now.
The Texans list WR Nico Collins (groin) as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He didn’t practice all week, though, and is not expected to play. That’ll leave Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore as Houston’s #2 and #3 WRs – and should mean more targets for WR Brandin Cooks.
Texans WR Nico Collins (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Titans this weekend, which would give WR Brandin Cooks a projected target boost.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks saw just 6 targets and caught 4 balls for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans. The 6 looks did constitute 25% of Davis Mills' 24 attempts for the game. Cooks' biggest issue was Houston going run heavy (31 rushing attempts vs. 25 dropbacks). WR Nico Collins matched Cooks in targets and receptions, gaining 65 yards on his 4 catches. A Week 6 bye will be followed by a visit to the Raiders and then a home date with the Titans.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks caught all 7 targets for 57 yards and a score in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. It was nice fantasy efficiency after an erratic start to the season. He'll get a potentially challenging matchup with the Jaguars before a Week 6 bye.
