Brandin Cooks shows in loss why Texans should find a way to keep him

HOUSTON -- In 2020, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has lost wide receivers to trade, injuries, waivers and suspension.

But through it all, Watson has found a consistent target in Brandin Cooks. The wide receiver, acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in April, is on the cusp of another 1,000-yard season, with seven catches for 141 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s 37-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

In his first six NFL seasons, Cooks had a 1,000-yard receiving season with the Saints, Patriots and Rams.
