2024 RTSports Outlook

With the Texans having quarterback issues last year, Cook saw a dip in production. He was just 49th overall in fantasy receiver scoring. He had just seven games with double-digit fantasy points. He topped 100-receiving yards just one game, which was the last of the season. He heads to a much better passing game this season, getting traded to the Cowboys. He should start alongside CeeDee Lamb. Cooks had 1,000-yard seasons two straight with the Texans before last season. Cooks has 1,000-yard seasons six of his last eight. Cooks isn't a big receiver but has great speed and moves after the catch. He also has good hands and runs pretty good routes. He is one of the top deep threats in all of football. Fantasy Outlook:   Cooks is a good buy-low candidate. He can get it going again, especially with the Cowboys. He should get a little more consistent work. Take him as a No. 3 or 4 receiver come draft day. Look for around 70 receptions for 1,000 yards and five or six touchdowns.

Player Notes
Feb 12 10:03pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks caught six touchdowns when the Cowboys were inside the 10-yard line this past season, which was tied for the NFL lead in that category.

From TheHuddle

Jan 14 11:40pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks made six catches in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cooks was targeted eight times, making six catches for 47 scoreless yards. Cooks had a very up-and-down season, as the Cowboys offense mostly ran through CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. Offseason moves will play a huge role on what Cooks' fantasy value will be in 2024, although he's likely to fall into another boom-or-bust situation no matter what.

Jan 14 8:53pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks ended up with six receptions for 47 yards on eight targets in the NFC Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers.

From TheHuddle

Jan 11 1:30pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in a Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Cooks has carved out some fantasy value this season, but he rarely sees high volume and usually needs a touchdown to put up a relevant fantasy score. In the regular season, Cooks scored a touchdown in eight games and was at least a fantasy WR2 in seven of them. In games where he did not score, his best performance was an overall WR49 game in Week 11. This week's matchup should be a high-scoring game, so there's a decent chance Cooks scores, but he comes with a very low floor so there's quite a bit of risk involved in having him in any lineups.

From RotoBaller

Jan 10 6:13pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 10.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks extended his touchdown streak to three games last week and has been targeted at least five times in four of the last five games. He should see a similar workload during the Wild Card playoff game and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

From TheHuddle

Jan 8 1:20am ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Washington Commanders. Cooks was targeted eight times, making his six catches for 39 yards and the score. His touchdown came on a five-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the third quarter and gave the Cowboys a 35-10 lead. Cooks had an up-and-down season which made him frustrating in standard leagues but a rather valuable asset in best ball formats. He and the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the playoffs next weekend.

From RotoBaller

Jan 7 11:23pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks finished with six receptions, 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders on eight targets.

From TheHuddle

Jan 4 7:20pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent option in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Cooks has had some touchdown luck lately, scoring in three of his past five games, but not piling up much yardage outside of those touchdown catches. He's been a boom-or-bust play most of the season with the booms not getting too high, making him a WR3 for this regular season finale, albeit with some more upside than most in that rank.

From RotoBaller

Jan 3 4:43pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks is coming off one of his better games of the season last week and has four touchdowns in the last six games. He will see a handful of targets this week and can be a flex option in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 31 5:20am ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks scored a touchdown in a Week 17 win over the Detroit Lions. Cooks was targeted eight times, making five catches for 60 yards and the score. His touchdown came in the fourth quarter on an eight-yard pass to give the Cowboys the lead. Cooks still has upside but remains an inconsistent option behind all-world receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had another huge game in this one.

From RotoBaller

Dec 30 11:53pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks caught five of his eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 17.

From TheHuddle

Dec 28 7:20pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Cooks has scored a touchdown in three of his past five games, but has also caught just six passes in his past three games combined. The Cowboys offense should play well against the Lions secondary, but Cooks has a very low floor with just a middling ceiling, making him risky in most formats, especially in fantasy championship week.

From RotoBaller

Dec 26 6:23pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (rest) was listed as a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Dec. 26. The Cowboys conducted a walkthrough so participation levels are estimations.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks would have been limited in a real practice simply due to rest so he should be able to play in Week 17. He's a boom/bust WR3 option against the Detroit Lions and an intriguing DFS play.

From TheHuddle

Dec 24 9:33pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks ended up with two receptions for 14 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins, while running once for nine yards.

From TheHuddle

Dec 24 8:20pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks scored a touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Cooks was targeted just twice, making two catches for 14 yards. His score came on an eight-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott near the end of the fourth quarter, to give the Cowboys a lead that they would only hold for a few minutes before the Dolphins won the game on a last-second field goal. Cooks has been inconsistent this season, mixing solid weeks with poor performances. This one was somewhere in between, thanks to him finding the end zone on one of his two catches.

From RotoBaller

Dec 21 9:30pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is an unexciting option in Week 16 fantasy lineups in a game against the Miami Dolphins. Cooks got in a limited practice on Wednesday, but it was reported as a rest day and not injury related. He's been having an up-and-down season, but he's been a fantasy WR3 or better in half of his games since Week 8. The Dolphins defense has been excellent overall and has been able to limit receivers like Cooks fairly easily. There's a very low floor without much of an enticing ceiling for Cooks this week, making him better left on the bench in most leagues.

From RotoBaller

Dec 20 7:33pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks is receiving a rest and should be able to handle his normal workload in Week 16. He was held to only 10 yards in the last game but has been targeted at least five times in four of the last six games. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 10:53pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks caught two passes for 10 yards in a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 8:20pm ET

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks made just two catches in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was targeted six times but was only able to come down with the two grabs, one for eight yards and the other for two. It was another down game for the Cowboys WR2, who has been the boom-or-bust fantasy option most expected. He'll have a slightly better chance at a boom game next week against the Dolphins on Christmas Eve.

From RotoBaller

Dec 17 3:13pm ET

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is officially active for the Week 15 game.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks should see a decent amount of targets this week and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
