Cooks finished second on the team in targets, catches, and yards, but failed to find himself on the receiving end of any of Cooper Rush's three touchdowns tosses. Those went to CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, and Jalen Brooks. Cooks has operated as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver since returning to the lineup in Week 13. Despite the notable role, his 34 yards today are a high-water mark since his return. He barely registers as a WR6 heading into his Week 16 date with the Bucs.
Tolbert came down with a toe-tap touchdown in the back of the end zone for his fourth touchdown of the season on the Cowboys' opening drive of the second half. It was his only catch of the day. Tolbert hasn't caught more than three passes once in his past eight games. With Brandin Cooks back in the lineup, he isn't seeing enough looks to hit fantasy lineups in Week 16.
