Signing Curtis Samuel Better Than Keeping Brandin Cooks? Dallas Cowboys Free Agency: Signing Curtis Samuel Better Than Keeping Brandin Cooks?
Former Oregon State Beavers star Brandin Cooks among '5 most overrated' players with the Dallas Cowboys Cooks caught eight touchdown passes in 2023, but didn't live up to expectations, according to a report.

Scores eight TDs in 2023 Cooks caught 54 of 81 targets for 657 yards and eight touchdowns over 16 regular-season games in 2023. He added 35 rushing yards on five carries.
Impact The veteran speedster was brought in last offseason to provide more consistent support in the passing game for CeeDee Lamb, but Cooks was basically invisible through his first month as a Cowboy. His production began to pick up once he scored his first TD of the season in Week 6 against the Chargers, but the 30-year-old still finished the campaign with his lowest yardage total over a 16-game season, although the eight scores were his most since 2016. Cooks will get a $3 million bonus if he's still on the roster March 17, so he's a candidate to be cut before then, but his $8 million salary for 2024 is reasonable given his role.

Significant invovlement in offense Cooks recorded five receptions on eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-19 win over the Lions.
Impact Cooks managed his highest target total since Week 10 and delivered one of his better performances of the season. He managed a pair of 21-yard receptions to account for most of his production, and he capped his evening off with an eight-yard touchdown catch that helped put the Cowboys up for good. Cooks is likely to continue to see inconsistent volume throughout the final week of the regular season and into the postseason, but he's shown the ability to deliver when called upon.

Salvages Week 16 with late TD Cooks recorded two catches (on two targets) for 14 yards and one touchdown and also had a nine-yard carry during Sunday's 22-20 loss at Miami.
Impact Fellow wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (6-118-1 on Sunday) continued to dominate the attention of quarterback Dak Prescott, as the former was on the receiving end of 10 of the latter's 32 passes. Meanwhile, Cooks matched his lowest target count in a game this season. Fortunately for the 10-year pro, he tallied his sixth touchdown of the campaign on an eight-yard connection with Prescott late in the fourth quarter, and Cooks will look to add to his number of scores Saturday versus a Lions defense that has given up the fourth-most TDs (19) to opposing wide receivers in 15 contests to date.

Suiting up in Week 15 Cooks (illness) is listed as active Sunday at Buffalo, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Cooks came down with an illness Thursday, which forced him to miss the last two practices of Week 15 prep. There was an expectation from Cowboys president Jerry Jones that Cooks would be able to suit up Sunday, per Archer, and the wide receiver indeed is available. Since Dallas' Week 7 bye, Cooks has displayed a nice rapport with quarterback Dak Prescott, reeling in 26 of 34 targets for 425 yards and four touchdowns over the last seven games.

Limited to two catches Sunday Cooks had two receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.
Impact Cooks cooled off following a torrid four-game stretch that produced 332 yards and three touchdowns for fantasy managers. The five targets weren't abnormal based on the veteran's recent results, but his 40 percent catch rate Sunday was. Cooks will look to get back on track following a down week when the Cowboys visit the Bills next Sunday.

Productive despite modest totals Cooks secured all four targets for 45 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Impact Cooks made good use of his relatively light night, posting Dallas' second-longest reception (19 yards), recording a seven-yard scoring grab and making a key two-point conversion catch after the Cowboys' final touchdown to extend the lead to three points. The veteran wideout has now crossed the goal line in three of the past four games, a favorable pattern he'll look to extend in a critical Week 14 home matchup against the Eagles on Sunday night, Dec. 10.
