I wouldn't say top 5, but could see top 10 especially with AB, Julio, AJG all aging out.

This is a little much, but I could see him playing well enough this year to be in consideration as a late 1st round pick in start up drafts next year.
He hasn't even been top 10 for me over these past 4 years, I've stayed away and own no shares. But now... Similiar to the other 2 WR's his size that get more credit because of their huge seasons- I think hes actually close to OBJ and AB in terms of talent just doesn't get the recognition because he doesn't have the historic start to career or a sick 1 handed catch that launched his stardom. After watching way more film on him these past few days then I have in the past 4 years, I regret being a stat junkie when it came to my research on cooks and never took the time to actually watch his film. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up 1400+ yards this year and gets recognized a lot more. I used to hate him so much. Gah I've completely flipped.
No doubt. It wasn't until I actually watched his Pats tape that it finally sold me on him. He ran a complete route tree, made some tough contested catches and of course did all the natural cooking down field. He's a very solid all around player.

I sold a Cooper copy for Cooks this summer

Hes on pace for 1900 yards so far.. obviously that probably doesn't happen.. but I definitely see 90 catches 1400yds and 6 TDs.. that would be WR 6.. if you have him.. dont trade him.. and if you can afford to buy him.. do it

Had one overturned yesterday, too. Ruled down at the 1. Think he was tackled at the 3 another time as well.

Funny because I feel like he used to be an inconsistent player or at least it felt that way. Hopefully the TD can come around and he can be consistent in that regard as well

Think he means that Cooks has been consistent on a season-to-season basis.

In this offense I’m not concerned about TDs at all. Its actually super encouraging he’s been so productive without scoring TDs. Its looking like this could be a career year for him and he’s locked into this offense for a long time.

One would think that Raider fans would be more knowledgeable, not less, about the shortcomings of Cooper... Not to mention that Cooks has already been the superior player of the two.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Skip, I agree 1000% with your statement and adhere to it. Having the rose-colored homer glasses are as blinding as the sun to some. Easy to spot and even easier to capitalize on. Same goes with the polar opposite, when a person dislikes a player and will get rid of them far below market. That is less common as many will not draft or acquire a player they feel that way on.

Will Cooks have a better 2018 than guys like OBJ/Hopkins/Keenan?

If so, will he finally ascend to low round 1 or high round 2 value?

The most promising thing is the targets (25), 8, 9,and 8 so far. 120 target season in that offense is all you could've hoped for.
