Comes up big in wild-card win Cooks caught three of five targets for 58 yards in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday.

Impact The veteran wideout got open for a 36-yard gain just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, helping to set up a one-yard TD plunge by Josh Allen for the game-winning score. Cooks has been a valuable addition for Buffalo since being picked up late in the regular season, and over his last two games he's delivered a 7-159-0 line on 11 targets while providing a downfield threat to complement possession receiver Khalil Shakir. Cooks will likely need to make an impact again if the Bills are going to advance past the divisional round next weekend.

Healthy heading into playoffs Cooks wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, confirming that he's healthy heading into Sunday's wild-card round game at Jacksonville.

Impact Cooks was inactive for the regular-season finale against the Jets, but that was a coach's decision and the veteran wide receiver is healthy heading into the playoffs. It remains to be seen which options the Bills dress at the position against the Jaguars, as Cooks, Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman have all contributed to various degrees but struggled to find consistency behind the team's No. 1 wideout Khalil Shakir. Cooks had 101 receiving yards in Week 17 against the Eagles but only 13 receiving yards across four other regular-season appearances with Buffalo.

Inactive Sunday Cooks is inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets.

Impact With Cooks being rested Sunday, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman are the Bills' available WRs in Week 18. Cooks' next chance to see game action is thus slated to arrive in the team's postseason opener.

Breaks out for 101 yards in Week 17 Cooks corralled four of six targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Cooks broke out in a big way after being held to one catch on five targets over his first four appearances with the Bills. The veteran wideout tallied his first 100-yard game since he was a member of the Texans back in 2021. Cooks finished only behind WR Khalil Shakir (6-35-0) for Buffalo in terms of targets and receptions in a game that starting TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed and WR Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch for. The 31-year-old Cooks' strong game may have helped solidify a role on offense for him as the Bills prepare to embark on a playoff run. If that scenario holds true, then fantasy managers in deeper formats could benefit from rolling out Cooks against the Jets in Week 18.

No catches again Sunday Cooks didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Cooks has gone without a catch in each of the Bills' last three games, despite playing 59 offensive snaps during that span. The veteran wideout has appeared in 14 games with Buffalo and New Orleans this season, catching 20 of 30 targets for 178 yards. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Bills' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Not on injury report Cooks (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Cooks was spotted entering the X-ray room with trainers after Buffalo's win over the Patriots in Week 15, but he appears to have only been receiving a precautionary examination. The veteran wideout didn't record a catch versus New England, but his three targets were the second-most on the team. He'll continue operating as a depth wideout for Buffalo heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Browns.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No catches vs. New England Cooks (undisclosed) failed to catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

Impact Although Cooks played 22 offensive snaps and logged the second-most targets of any Bills receiver in Sunday's win, he was seen heading to the X-ray room with trainers following the game, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. In three games with Buffalo, Cooks has caught just one of four targets for 13 yards. If he's able to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Browns, he'll likely remain a depth option in the team's receiving corps.

Catchless in Week 14 Cooks failed to compile any stats while playing 23 snaps on offense in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

Impact Cooks saw one look from Josh Allen on the day, ultimately drawing a pass interference penalty on cornerback DJ Turner early in the third quarter, so it didn't qualify as a target officially. The wide receiver finished fourth on the team at his position in offensive snaps, sitting behind Gabe Davis (37), Tyrell Shavers (36) and Khalil Shakir (32), but he was ahead of Keon Coleman (18). Cooks figures to have limited upside moving forward while operating as low as he does on the depth chart.

One catch in debut with Bills Cooks caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

Impact In his first game with the Bills after signing on Nov. 25, Cooks was understandably not a huge part of Buffalo's offensive plans. The veteran wideout played just 17 of the Bills' 74 offensive snaps, the lowest total of any wide receiver who saw action on offense Sunday. Though it's possible that his role will grow as the regular season progresses toward its end, Cooks faces an uphill battle to see consistent usage in an offense that tends to spread the ball around. Nonetheless, the 32-year-old will look to get more involved when the Bills host the Bengals in Week 14.
