Jalen Brooks

With CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) out, Brooks should see an increased target share if he can suit up although he makes for just a shaky WR6. Brooks has earned just 29 targets this season and averages 0.82 yards per route run. Fantasy managers in need of a reliable flex should look elsewhere. Brooks profiles as more of a single-game DFS option.

Brooks has gotten in limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday after missing the Week 16 win over the Buccaneers. Because of a plethora of injuries for Dallas he could see some targets in Week 17 against the Eagles, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere even if he does get the chance to play.

Brooks was added to the injury report on Thursday before being downgraded to a DNP on Friday, indicating he suffered a serious knee injury during practice. He scored his first career touchdown last week but will have to wait for an encore.

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.
