Start:

Brandin Cooks, HOU, @ DET (Thu.)

Deshaun Watson and Brandin Cooks have figured each other out, making the offense a lot better as a result. And in a game that could very well be a shootout, the idea of starting Cooks should be welcomed by fantasy owners. Expect him to have a big day for the Houston Texans this Thanksgiving.

D.J. Moore, CAR, @ MIN

D.J. Moore dazzled when P.J. Walker took over for Teddy Bridgewater last week. And though Bridgewater is expected to be back, we do think that Moore can dazzle yet again vs. the Minnesota Vikings’ weak pass defense. The speedster should burn the secondary in this one.

Henry Ruggs, LV, @ ATL

This could be a hunch but Henry Ruggs is going to have a big game vs. the Atlanta Falcons secondary. A lot of the receiving success for the Las Vegas Raiders has come from Nelson Agholor this season (he should be played as well), but we do believe that Ruggs will have his breakout game this week. They are trying to get him the ball more and more, so this can be that moment.

Sit:

Ceedee Lamb, DAL, vs. WAS (Thu.)

CeeDee Lamb had one of the best catches of the season last Sunday to help the Dallas Cowboys get a much-needed win against the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, he is now met with a matchup against the best passing defense in football, the Washington Football Team. Sit him down on Thanksgiving.

Marquise Brown, BAL, (Thu.)

If you haven’t given up on Marquise Brown yet, here’s us saying you should. And to further that, in no way should you play him against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thanksgiving night. The Ravens are a weird offense right now.

Brandon Aiyuk, SF, @ LAR

Brandon Aiyuk has been the most consistent fantasy player when it comes to the San Francisco 49ers offense this season. Too bad a daunting task against the Los Angeles Rams limits his fantasy potential this weekend.
