Draft note

by John Paulsen

In his 10th season, and his first with the Cowboys, Brandin Cooks finished the season as the fantasy WR41 thanks in large part to eight receiving touchdowns. His 54 catches and 657 yards were both four-year lows. The good news is that Michael Gallup moved on and the team didn’t really do anything to replace him, so Cooks should be the second or third option behind CeeDee Lamb (and perhaps Jake Ferguson), catching passes from a good quarterback in an efficient offense. The bad news is that Cooks is entering his 11th season and is facing another steep drop off according to Ryan Heath’s excellent Age Curves study. He seems like a good WR4 play, but he has a questionable ceiling at this point in his career.

Latest news

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb not expected to report to training camp

Calvin Watkins

Jul 01 · 11:04 AM EDT

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports that Lamb is not expected to report to training camp in Oxnard, California if he has not come to an agreement with the team on a new pact. The Cowboys hold their first training camp practice on July 25.

Related Players: Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

A little extra work for third-year Jalen Tolbert would be promising after he finished his first two seasons with a combined 24 receptions. While we don't expect Lamb to miss any regular season time, we'll keep an eye on the situation.

DAL WR Brandin Cooks - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Detroit Lions

Brandin Cooks caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins, adding nine yards on a rushing attempt on his way to 9.3 Half-PPR points and a WR36 finish for Wee6 16. Cooks has exactly two catches in three straight games but hasn't topped 45 yards in a game since Week 12.

Cooks is projected for low-end WR3 output against the Lions this week, based on his low output while also factoring in the generosity of the Lions towards wide receivers this season. They rank dead last in aFPA to the position.
