Brandin Cooks Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) has been activated from IR. That puts him in line to play vs. the Giants on Thanksgiving. Cooks has been out since Week 4 and averaged just 2.3 catches and 23 yards across the first four games of the season. He should be nowhere near redraft rosters and isn't a recommended play in any Thanksgiving DFS contests.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) was not activated from IR and won't play against the Commanders on Sunday. We'll see if he makes it back for Week 13, but Cooks is hopefully not in your fantasy plans the rest of the way.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. We’ll see if Dallas activates him from IR for his first game since Week 4, but Cooks is not a recommended fantasy play in any format.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice this week and is eligible to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Cooks was sitting 71st among WRs in PPR points with QB Dak Prescott through Week 4. It's tough to expect better with QB Cooper Rush (or QB Trey Lance). Cooks can be left on fantasy waiver wires.

The Panthers are trading WR Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys. Dallas is sending a fourth-round 2025 pick for Mingo and a seventh-rounder.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss at Atlanta, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The Cowboys have placed WR Brandin Cooks on IR for his knee infection. The issue seems likely to keep him out for just the required four weeks, but we'll watch for updates on his situation. He'll be eligible to return for a Week 10 home date with the Eagles.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks will miss Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers and might be out beyond that due to a knee infection, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Cooks had a procedure on the knee after the Week 4 win over the Giants and subsequently developed an infection.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a left knee injury in the Cowboys Week 1 game against the Browns. It initially looked like it could be season-ending, but further testing revealed that Ferguson only sprained his MCL. This is approximately a 1-4 week recovery for Ferguson.

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert has been working as the Cowboys No. 2 WR behind WR Brandin Cooks with WR CeeDee Lamb not participating. Tolbert is heading into his third season and is building a rapport with QB Dak Prescott.

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports that WR CeeDee Lamb plans to hold out when Cowboys training camp opens Wednesday. Lamb and the team have been working on a contract extension but have yet to work anything out.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb skipped offseason workouts ahead of what’s currently a contract year. Just note: That could change at any moment. Considering potential new deals for Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, The Athletic’s Saad Yousuf believes Lamb is the Cowboy “most likely” to get paid before training camp. Yousuf writes that the contract “framework” is already in place following Justin Jefferson’s extension.

The Athletic's Jon Machota highlighted Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks as one of the team's standouts in spring workouts. Cooks has shown improved chemistry with QB Dak Prescott in their second offseason together.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He should be available for his usual role. WR Jalen Tolbert (illness) is also active.
