Including Jimmy Graham. Cooks leading the way in either yards or receptions this year. I say could be stronger than i though especially with Stills quad lingering.

40%? o/u

0.0 with JG in there.

Colston will have a bit more as well I think.

yards might be harder but i can maybe see a chance he snags more receptions than jimmy. They may try to get the ball in his hands quickly on a bunch of slants and so forth

Honestly, I think 3rd after graham and colston. You saw how fluid and healthy colston looked against indy. Just the fact that brees trusts him that much will tell you he's gonna be in for another 2011-esque yea

JG should do even better this year if the young speed guys Stills Cooks and Morgan do as expected and keep the double and triple teams off Jimmy.

This

Drew Brees still loves him some Colston I can assure you of that.

I think 20% is a good guess.
Jimmy has been getting the most looks because he is by far the best pass threat on the team (not a recover though).

If cooks is as good as we hope he is he could take some looks away from Jimmy.

Most likely jimmy will be the leading receiver but you never know.

This is a worse guess than 40. You really think there is absolutely 0 chance of it happening? I don't think it will either but acting like it's impossible is silly.

He doesn't have a single reception from Brees yet, right? I know it's because Drew was out, but it would have been nice to see him catch a ball from Drew.

He'll have about 500yds, IMO.

The only real question about Cooks is not if, but by how many more yards and TDs he has over other Saints players and how many more TDs and yards he has over the previous rookie record holders and how many more women he will bang than Kareem Abduel-Jabbar. And how badly he would kick Chuck Norris' arse.

I don't think it's silly at all.

If all 3 are healthy and play all season, zero.

If Graham or Colston get hurt, then I would move it up to 40-50%, but I don't even want to consider that scenario.

He's a rookie, and he allegedly lit up training camp, but I can't say that he's been THAT impressive in actual games yet.

Might take him a few weeks to adjust to the pace of the game and to get comfortable with Drew.

I don't even know if he'll finish 3rd. You could be looking at Jimmy/Colston/PT and even Stills ahead of him.

He's played like 2Q worth of game with the 1's. I think over a full game with all our weapons, he'll really be able to shine
