Fantasy football 2017, Week 2 rankings: Who to start and sit

Start: Brandin Cooks

It’s the Brandin Cooks revenge game this weekend as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots head to New Orleans to face the Saints and Drew Brees. After their shocking defeat in the NFL opener to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Patriots will want to bounce back in a huge way and there could be some offensive fireworks when these two hall of fame quarterbacks come up against each other.

In week one we only got a glimpse of what Cooks could do for this Pats team, as he caught three balls for 88 yards, including a 54-yard bomb down the field. Kansas City played the Pats perfectly, and Brady struggled severely, but if there was ever a week for a breakout, this would be it. Last week, we told you to start all of your Vikings and we were rewarded with huge games from Sam Bradford, Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. This week, look for Brady, Cooks, Rob Gronkowski and anyone’s guess at running back to have huge fantasy games and make a statement.

I believe Cooks is a supremely talented young receiver, and it will simply take more practice and game time for him to get in sync with Brady. This game is a great one to get a rhythm going.
