Outlook Brandin Cooks
Brandin Cooks at Atlanta — Veteran Depth in a Favorable Scoring Environment
Brandin Cooks continues to carve out a rotational role in San Francisco's depleted receiving corps, particularly with Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined and Mike Evans battling an Achilles issue. While veteran tight end George Kittle praised Cooks’ form in practice this week, the 33-year-old wideout remains buried on the depth chart behind starting options and has managed just two receptions over his last two games.
Even in an appealing matchup against Atlanta with a high 49.5 over/under, Cooks holds minimal standalone fantasy value. Our weekly projection expects just 1.2 receptions for 12 yards, and with a start rate sitting at 1%, he should remain firmly on fantasy benches outside of the deepest formats hunting for a speculative score.

Outlook Konata Mumpfield
Konata Mumpfield at Las Vegas — Expanded role possible amid receiver injuries
Operating as the Rams' primary slot receiver, Mumpfield is positioned for added snaps after Davante Adams was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, while Puka Nacua is also managing a calf issue. Fantasy managers have taken note, bumping his roster rate up to 11% ahead of this matchup in Las Vegas.
Even with open targets in a projected high-scoring indoor matchup, our weekly projection remains reserved, slating him for approximately 1.5 targets, 8.1 receiving yards, and 1.9 fantasy points. After catching two passes for 15 yards last week, Mumpfield is an intriguing speculative stash, but he belongs on fantasy benches until his volume proves reliable.
