Brandin Cooks, WR, Houston Texans

Flip-flopping back to wide receiver, Brandin Cooks would be a huge splash at the trade deadline. Although Green Bay’s offense hasn’t been an issue, Cooks would put them over the top and give someone defenses legitimately have to worry about besides Adams.

Cooks is used to getting traded by this point and has proven he can immediately produce once he’s in a new situation–no matter what situation.

The Packers can put Cooks in the slot where he dominates and allow him to take advantage of all the attention Adams demands. He has great hands and almost never drops passes while making defenses pay for giving him a step.
