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
Season-high two catches Sunday
Brooks caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout saw five-plus targets for the second time in the last three games but once again failed to do much with the increased volume, although his two catches were a season high. Brooks remains an afterthought in the Cowboys offense, but he could be pushed into a bigger role Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ends up missing time.

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.

Vying for third receiver role
Brooks is competing with Jalen Tolbert to serve as the Cowboys' third receiver in 2024, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
