The last in a five-part series counting down the top 20 New Orleans Saints players, based on their current value heading into the 2016 season:
No. 4 WR Brandin Cooks
Last year’s rank: 5
Cooks added juice to the Saints’ offense right away as a first-round draft pick in 2014. But he really went on a tear over the final nine games last year (eight touchdowns, four games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage). The dynamic speedster really started to get into a deep-ball rhythm with QB Drew Brees, catching TD passes of 71, 60, 54 and 38 yards during that stretch.
