Brandin Cooks is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: I was high on Cooks coming into the season and through six games (the Cowboys were on bye in Week 7), Dallas played very few "normal" games. They've played just one game that finished with a score differential of 10 points or less and just two games where the score difference was less than 20. That's made it difficult to get a good read on this offense or Cooks' role in it.
Not to mention, he missed Week 2 and was somewhat limited in Week 3, which was one of only two games decided by less than 20 points. The other such game came in Week 6 against the Cowboys when Cooks had four targets, four receptions, 36 yards, and one touchdown. Moving forward, I expect him to compete with Jake Ferguson for Dak Prescott's attention for the No. 2 role in this passing offense. That role should give him WR4 value most weeks with WR3 upside.
