Brandin Cooks Activated From IR

Brandin Cooks Activated From IR

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.
