ANALYSIS: For fantasy managers, Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks is one of the more annoying JAG players of the 2024 season. Luckily, with the emergence of fellow WR Jalen Tolbert, managers can move on from thinking Cooks will be fantasy-relevant, barring injury to Tolbert or lead WR CeeDee Lamb.

Cooks was targeted six times but only made two catches for 16 yards. He's scored 3.60 PPR fantasy points two weeks in a row, being outscored by Tolbert twice. Tolbert is the receiver worth taking a second look at. Cooks is 30 years old and was largely irrelevant in 2023 outside of games he had touchdowns in.

Cooks looks washed and can't win one one-on-one battles, making him highly inconsistent. Cooks' best days are clearly behind him, and Tolbert looks like his best days are ahead. With Lamb, Tolbert, and TE Jake Ferguson seemingly ahead of Cooks as priority targets for the Cowboys, Cooks shouldn't be added to fantasy rosters.

Even KaVontae Turpin had more receiving yards than Cooks in Week 3, though that may not hold up. But if it did, Cooks would have an even worse outlook for the season, and Turpin has blinding speed, so the Cowboys would be well served to get him more involved.

Cooks could have a few decent games, but they'll probably only be off the back of touchdowns.
