Wide Receiver 1: Brandin Cooks, Houston Texans ($6,000)

After a blazing-hot start to the 2021 season, Brandin Cooks has since fallen down to the 21st-ranked wide receiver in fantasy football. This is largely due to Davis Mills playing quarterback and a string of bad matchups.

Cooks is set to rebound this week going up against a Tennessee defense who gives up the most points to wide receivers in the NFL. In a game where the Titans will be leading throughout, Cooks should have plenty of looks and return pretty solid numbers for us.

Wide Receiver 2: DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers ($5,900)

DJ Moore has also had a string of a few sub-par games, but two things are working for him this week: a quarterback upgrade in Cam Newton, and a favorable matchup against the 30th-ranked Washington defense. They give up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers in the league.

Moore should rebound in a huge way this week, and we’re counting on his 9.5 target per game average to hold up and provide an extremely stable floor, which is a common theme among our wide receivers.

Wide Receiver 3: Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders ($5,800)

Even in a blowout loss, Hunter Renfrow still caught 7-of-9 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown, which was almost identical to his stat line in Week 9 (7-of-9 for 49 and a touchdown). This level of consistency is hard to find, and we’re capitalizing on it this week.

Renfrow’s season so far hasn’t been flashy, but his 7.7 target per game average has been bankable every week, and he’s got one of the highest floors in fantasy football.
