Someone has to replace Lance Moore and Darren Sproles' touches. And they dont want Pierre Thomas catching 70 balls again this year.


I think Cooks is a lock for 60 catches. And it could be upwards of 80.

Marcus Colston had 70 catches his rookie year in Sean Payton's offense. Payton and Brees will find a way to get Cooks the ball. Book it.

not only that, the offense is more evolved in 2014 than it was then. It's a well oiled machine, and by all accounts Cooks has fit right in. He's one of those rookies that "gets it".

I booked it. I booked it with my 4th pick.

Well you completely disregarded the facts, so there's no point really arguing with you. Nice deflection though

not arguing dude.

And Devery was better than Colston in 06 with his 32 catches?

Where is Gyno's post on rookie receivers?

Im usually hesitant on rookie WRs, but I do think we see more relevant rookies than usual. Too may really good WRs who will play big roles in their offense.

Not only a fourth but the first pick of the fourth. That's like 37 overall. He would have to finish top 15 to justify that pick.
Worse than bad bro.

I like Cooks and Benjamin to have their share of big weeks and be somewhat reliable in PPRs. They should catch at least 2-3 balls per week.

Evans will be TD dependent and Watkins will be big play

You fell into the homer trap. Never be the homer.

Id put Watkins and Jordan Matthews with Cooks and Benjamin. Watkins is just so damn good and he's going to see a lot of short passes, I think. Matthews will see his fair share.


A few guys could emerge later in the season if an injury pops up; Latimer, Moncrief, Davante Adams all play with top tier QBs and could be sneaky. They may not have the numbers at the end, but i could see them having some good weeks

I'd much rather take Cooks even though he has to compete for targets over Watkins and a shitty QB. Manuel has looked awful this preseason.

Obviously QB doesn't matter as we saw with Josh Gordon last year, but at this point I'd take Weeden over Manuel

Wouldn't be surprised if Landry has a Davone Bess-esque type year in Miami: 60 catches, 750 yards and 4 TDs.

Manuel is the wild card. And he seems to be locked on to Robert Woods as his WR1

I could just see them throwing Watkins a lot of screens and quick slants to get the ball in his hands, and he can take it to the house at any time.
