Cyrus Allen vs. LAC — Stepping Into Expanded Role With Rashee Rice Out

With starting wideout Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both ruled out, Allen is positioned for an expanded slot role against the Chargers. While the coaching staff praised the rookie's development early in the season, he has yet to record an NFL reception, seeing just two total targets across two regular-season appearances.

Our weekly projection anticipates modest involvement, slating Allen for approximately 1.2 receptions and 15 yards on 2.8 targets, translating to 2.3 fantasy points. Facing a winless Chargers defense as 7.5-point home favorites, Kansas City may not need heavy pass volume, keeping the 5% rostered receiver firmly on fantasy benches this week.

Outlook Brandin Cooks

Brandin Cooks vs. Washington — Deep-League Sleeper in High-Scoring Spot

After catching a go-ahead touchdown last week, Brandin Cooks is stepping into elevated snaps amid mounting injuries in the San Francisco receiving room. Quarterback Brock Purdy noted their growing chemistry in practice, and the veteran speedster has quickly earned trust as a vertical complement to Mike Evans.

Our weekly projection places Cooks at roughly 24 receiving yards on 2.6 targets with 5.4 fantasy points. With the 5-0 49ers hosting Washington in an expected shootout with a 52-point game total, Cooks is rostered in just 4% of leagues and profiles strictly as a touchdown-dependent flex or deep-league tournament flier.
