Fantasy football fallout from Texans' trade for Brandin Cooks

Brandin Cooks has played six years in the NFL and has now been traded for the third time, as the Houston Texans acquired the veteran wideout along with a 2022 fourth-round pick in exchange for a second-round pick. Cooks will attempt to fill some of the gaping hole DeAndre Hopkins left in the Texans' wide receiver corps and at least initially looks like he’ll get a modest fantasy upgrade in Houston.

Following a string of four-straight 1,000-yard seasons, Cooks’ production fell off a cliff for the Rams last season with just 42 catches for 583 yards and two scores.
