Cooks ranked ahead of Kirk in Week 7 despite Kirk's return from injury.

Puka Nacua ranks Brandin Cooks ahead of Christian Kirk in Week 7 despite Kirk's return from injury, citing the 49ers' matchup against the Falcons, who have been the biggest pass funnel defense in the league this year; Cooks is the preferred start in Kirk's first game back.
