ANALYSIS: Dallas was on a bye in Week 7, but dating back to Week 6, Cooks has now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. Fantasy managers would like to see his target total higher than it's been – in five out of his six games played he has had exactly four targets – but he's been the most productive receiver behind CeeDee Lamb. Hopefully, with the production in the team's past two games, Cooks will start to take on a bigger role for the offense.
Cooks missed Week 3 with a knee injury and was somewhat limited in Week 4. Dallas has also been in a ton of one-sided affairs, both wins and losses, which has made it difficult to get a good read on this Dallas offense. I was high on Cooks this offseason and while he's started off slow, fantasy managers have started to see glimpses of progress. If he can get up to 5-7 targets a game, Cooks can be a quality WR3. Right now, he's best viewed as a WR4 with WR3 upside. That's a quality player to have on your bench to help with the rest of the bye weeks.
