2024 Fantasy Outlook
A seventh-round pick in 2023, Brooks saw little action as a rookie, but he did what he could with his opportunities and caught all six of his targets, with four of them coming in a Week 10 rout of the Giants. Michael Gallup is now a Raider, leaving the Cowboys' No. 3 receiver job open, and Brooks will head into training camp competing with Jalen Tolbert and others for the available snaps. Brooks doesn't offer much in terms of speed or sharp route running, but his size and strength could make him an occasional red-zone target. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Targeted six times
Brooks caught one of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Brooks saw a significant bump in his usage Sunday, playing 49 of the Cowboys' 69 offensive snaps, tied with CeeDee Lamb and behind Jalen Tolbert (64). His 71 percent snap share and six targets were both season highs for the second-year receiver. With that said, Brooks has yet to record more than one reception in any contest thus far. Even with teammate Brandin Cooks (knee) on IR, Brooks is very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The Cowboys now head into there Week 7 bye and will square off against the 49ers in Week 8.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A seventh-round pick in 2023, Brooks wasn't very productive in college and lacks standout speed or agility, but his size, strength and ability to bully his way to 50-50 balls could allow him to carve out a role in the NFL as a chain-mover and red-zone option. With Noah Brown now in Houston, Dallas has an opening for a physical depth receiver who can contribute as a run blocker and made contested catches, a job Brooks seems well-suited for.
