WR Brandin Cooks, who went up and plucked it in front of tight coverage by S Zimmerman

That also says something about Zimmerman, that he can cover Cooks that well.

When we are talking about the 5th or 6th WR, that's exactly what they need: A skill that sets them apart from all of the other WRs. That could be "Special Teams Ace" or Blocking or Returner. But they need something to set them apart. 

Meachem has that.

Meach is at disadvantage because he will be available and can be had throughout the season if there's an injury.

Other Wrs have potential to be scooped up by other teams if cut.

It's a numbers game.

Byrd is fine. They said he was on schedule, he should start soon.
