Brandin Cooks

Since being drafted in the first round of the 2014 Draft, Cooks has been great.  He has almost 200 receptions in that span and currently has 18 total touchdowns.

It doesn’t hurt that Cooks has Drew Brees throwing him the ball.  Brees has a strong-arm and Cooks has the speed and toughness to make all the tough catches.  The Saints always have a high-powered offense so they did well when they drafted Brandin Cooks.

New Orleans travels to Tampa where the Bucs don’t have the best secondary in the league.  What that, I think Brees is going to put up big numbers and throw the ball to Cooks a lot on Sunday.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Cooks has eight receptions for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
