No. 4 Brandin Cooks vs. Los Angeles (Chargers)

I love this matchup for Cooks and I think this overall will be a great game. The Rams look and likely are the best team in football in all facets. There’s so much balance to the offense and the Chargers struggled against a similarly speedy offense in Kansas City in week one.

Cooks isn’t Tyreek Hill but he’s finding his form and showing why he deserved that new contract. After five catches for 87 yards in the opener, Cooks dominated Sunday against Arizona with 159 yards on seven catches.

Where has Cooks not dominated yet? The end zone. I think that changes against the Chargers. If the Chargers try to key in on Todd Gurley both on the ground and in the air, I think Cooks gets the most touches here.
