Dallas added Brandin Cooks this offseason fully anticipating him to step in and be the WR2 they lacked last year. According to reports throughout camp, Cooks has done just that, building a fast connection with QB Dak Prescott – and drawing high praise from Cowboys beat reporters.
The Athletic's Jon Machota projected recently that Cooks would finish 2023 second among Cowboys WRs in targets, receiving yards, and touchdowns, which implies that he has fully leapfrogged Michael Gallup on the Cowboys depth chart.
At his price, Cooks is an absolute steal in fantasy drafts as usual, and he should be in for a considerable bounce-back season in Dallas after a tumultuous 2022 in Houston last year.
