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.

Harold Fannin at Tennessee: Rebound Opportunity in Low-Scoring Matchup
Harold Fannin remains entrenched as Cleveland's lead tight end, though his involvement has cooled off recently with just two receptions for 13 yards combined over his last two games. Facing a 1-5 Titans squad while teammates like Denzel Boston are banged up, Fannin should continue to run plenty of routes as a primary target over the middle.
Our weekly projection points to roughly 3 catches, 27 receiving yards, and 9.2 fantasy points, though a low 37.5 over/under suggests scoring opportunities could be scarce. Fantasy managers have grown cautious as his start rate has dropped to 57%, leaving him as a matchup-dependent streaming option with touchdown-based upside.
