2024 Outlook

Depth Chart

Brandin Cooks joined the Cowboys with the team having hopes that he'd fill the void left by Amari Cooper's departure a few seasons ago, but his 2023 season was largely disappointing. While Cooks is a recognized name, his performance metrics fell below league averages, and his overall efficiency was lacking. Despite scoring an impressive eight touchdowns on just 54 receptions -- the most he's had since his 2016 season -- Cooks' 657 receiving yards were the lowest he's ever recorded in a full season.

As Cooks enters his 11th season, he remains projected as the Cowboys' WR2. However, this role does not guarantee substantial fantasy production unless he can dramatically improve his ability to create separation and increase his yardage output. Given his current trajectory, Cooks appears to be on the downswing of his career, making him a risky investment in fantasy leagues.

For those in leagues with very deep starting lineups, Cooks might offer some late-round value due to his potential for end-zone targets. However, for most fantasy managers, investing in Cooks doesn't seem prudent given his diminished role and the limited target share he is likely to receive behind the dominant CeeDee Lamb. His status as a distant second, perhaps even third in targets within the Cowboys' offense further limits his appeal, making him an unattractive option for the 2024 fantasy season.

News From The Past 90 Days

Saints bring back WR Brandin Cooks
New Orleans adds depth to wide receiver room
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Mar 21, 1:55 pm

Reunion: Veteran WR Brandin Cooks is signing with the #Saints, sources tell The Insiders. Back with the team that drafted him. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: The Saints suffered multiple injuries to their receiving corps last season which eventually left Marquez Valdes-Scantling as their top wideout. Cooks (31) will give the team some much needed depth even if he doesn't have the speed he once had, but won't be on the fantasy radar unless Chris Olave and/or Rashid Shaheed miss time.
