Fantasy Impact
In an expected trade, Cooks was dealt to the Patriots in exchange for their 32nd overall pick in the upcoming draft. Cooks will lead a Patriots wide receiver corps that includes Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Malcolm Mitchell. With Rob Gronkowski's durability in question moving forward, Cooks will serve as New England's big play threat in 2017.
