Cooks overcame multiple concussions this season and somehow only missed four games. To an extent, his subpar numbers weren’t his fault, but he also didn’t do much when given opportunities. He only caught 58.3% of his targets (2nd-lowest of career) and averaged 13.9 yards per catch after averaging at least 15 in each of the previous three years.

He’s supposed to open up the offense by being that deep threat Sean McVay covets, but that’s hard to do when you’re not catching passes downfield. Cooks’ 583 yards left plenty to be desired and while he can’t be expected to post 1,000 yards like he did in the past four years, given the talent around him, he should have better numbers in 2020 – if he’s back with the Rams, that is.
