Mattek Fantasy Football on Brandin Cooks

VideoInjuries Created A Truly Insane Week 7 Waiver WireOctober 20, 2026

From the video

If he does not play in week seven, there's really no way for Brandin Cooks to have less than an 80% route share. And any wide receiver that is playing that much with Brock Purdy is worthy of our attention.

80% route share likely if Kirk out; strong starter with Purdy

If Christian Kirk does not play in Week 7, Brandin Cooks will have no realistic way to have less than an 80% route share. Any wide receiver playing that much with Brock Purdy is worthy of fantasy attention and represents a strong Week 7 starter opportunity.
