New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been a valuable asset to the offense in his rookie season, but it's hard to tell which week he will show up. Much like the rest of the Saints, Cooks' best games have come at home on the Superdome turf. He exploded for 98 total yards and two touchdowns on seven touches against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, his best performance since the season opener.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Brandin Cooks
Brandin Cooks has been a hot-and-cold fantasy play in his rookie year. He could have one of his hot weeks in the Superdome.

That didn't carry over into Week 9, when Cooks put up just three catches for 38 yards on the road against the Carolina Panthers. Things could turn around this week, when the Saints come back home to host the San Francisco 49ers.
Fantasy impact: At this point, Cooks might be more valuable in real life than in fantasy, but Week 10 is a good bet for him to have one of his big games against a 49ers defense still missing key parts. Cooks is worth a WR3 play in standard fantasy leagues and carries lots of value in PPR formats. He’s an easy start with six teams on bye. The Saints have five of their final eight games at home, so Cooks has a good chance to finish the season strong and carry teams through the fantasy playoffs.
