.5 pt. PPR
Planning on taking Lacy 4th Pick
Either another RB at 20 or WR1
Then come back and get Cooks at 28th.

Thoughts?

I think he could be if your league is not full of Saints fans. Guys like Alshon Jeffery, TY Hilton, etc are getting drafted around 20-25. Cooks at 28 seems reasonable.

His stock is rising real high. I think he has a good chance at being a top 10 WR this year, especially in PPR. If he stays healthy I think 100+ catches is possible. He's in that spot where you'd be choosing between him or guys like Hilton, Evans, Hopkins.

I doubt he'd be there at 28, especially in a .5 PPR. If you really like him/want him, waiting until 28 is playing with fire. You're most likely going to have to take him at 20 if you want him. His ADP in PPR settings on FFCalc is 21.

He should be there, but his stock shot up overnight after the game Saturday. On FFC he's going around 20, sometimes earlier. I'm picking first in a 10 team, and if I want him, have to take him at 3.1.

No saints fans in this draft ( 12 guys from around the U.S.). They are not well informed as well.
Think I can get him at 20 or 28-- thanks.

I just drafted him at 31 and was pleased he was still there.

I got him at 36 in a 13 team non PPR. With Jordy Nelson and Kelvin Benjamin out, the other WRs are moving up. If he is there late in 3rd you take him. Colston isn't what he used to be and nobody else has ever played in a meaningful game as a starter. Spiller is gonna be injured so Cooks is the only option for Brees. He will be top 10 WR this year. Book it.

Not too high, Cooks should be a solid WR1 or great WR2 if he and Brees stay healthy.

With the new O line and Brees staying upright, Cooks is gonna get a ton of targets and could finish top 10 in PPR.

The guy looks incredible.

Anywhere in the 3rd is good to me.

I got him mid 3rd Sunday and was ecstatic.

Damn, Pats game has him sky rocketing.

He was a really good value in 3rd last week, looks like you gotta pay for him now.

The potential is huge though. Love the guy.

He's going in the sanders, Hilton, Matthews, Hopkins, AJ80 range.

Cooks, Matthews, Hopkins are those upside WR2s that win leagues when they breakout and produce like 1s. Id rather them then sanders, Hilton and AJ80, personally

I wouldnt have a problem taking him there he's gonna catch 90 balls easily if he can stay mostly healthy....90 catches - 1000ish yards more than a handful of TDs...The Saints pass catchers outside of Cooks are as bad as any in the league. I'm more than a little confident that this is gonna be Brees worst fantasy season as a Saint.
