Fantasy Football Player Notes

Tyrod Taylor has only thrown for 265 passing yards on 50 total pass attempts over the past two weeks combined and that has certainly limited Cooks production from a fantasy standpoint. After seeing 14 targets in Week 9, Cooks has gone on to just see 8 total the past two weeks and he has a combined 63 receiving yards to show for it. While he did score last week to save his fantasy outing, Cooks is not coming with as high of a floor as we had come to expect earlier on in the season. He's still worth playing in this matchup, of course, and we should see the Colts jump out to a large lead which will force more passing volume for the Texans. However, we have to be aware that Cooks isn't bringing as much safety as we once thought. He can be viewed as a high-end WR3 this week.

Burkhead now has 30 carries over his last two games. This is a high enough mark to put him at No. 10 in the list for most rush attempts by a RB over that time span, but it's only resulted in 67 rushing yards and no touchdowns. At this point, Burkhead is a desperation play and nothing more. He can be viewed as a low-end RB3/high-end FLEX option.

This is the point of the fantasy season where we need to start looking at high-upside players for our lineups and Collins is simply not one of those options in this offense. He has a bright future ahead of him and he's an intriguing option for Dynasty leagues, but we shouldn't be looking at him in redraft leagues now.
