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
Injury Brandin Cooks Out for Week 5, knee injury
Complications after surgery could cause extended absence
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 2, 11:56 am

Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys will be without WR Brandin Cooks for at least this week vs. Pittsburgh and potentially longer after an infection developed in his right knee following a procedure he had after remaining in NY following the win against the Giants, according to multiple sources. (Todd Archer on X)

FFToday's Take: Cooks' best game this season came back in Week 1 when he posted a 4-40-1 line. Since then he hasn't topped 19 receiving yards in a game. In his absence, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin should see more action at wide receiver.


Injury Sprained MCL for TE Jake Ferguson
Week-to-Week
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 9, 11:08 am

Dallas Cowboys
Tests revealed an MCL sprain for #Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, which means he'll miss time. But overall good news and not season-ending. (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: The Cowboys will be without their starting tight end for awhile which means we'll likely see more of Luke Schoonmaker in the coming weeks. He'll be a person of interest on the waiver wire this week but it remains to be seen how much fantasy value he'll actually have. The team could lean more on Brandin Cooks in the coming weeks.
