2025 Fantasy Outlook
A seventh-round pick in 2023, Brooks has done well to carve out an NFL role for himself. He caught his first NFL touchdown last season while also seeing regular special-teams duty, but Brooks hauled in multiple passes only once, and the addition of George Pickens will make it even more difficult for him to make an impact. While a healthy Dak Prescott would improve the performance of the entire Cowboys passing game, that production may not trickle down to Brooks. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Cowboys in August of 2025.
Elevated for Sunday
The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The absence of wide receivers Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (chest) and potentially Xavier Weaver (hamstring) give Brooks a huge opportunity in Sunday's contest. The 2023 seventh-rounder was elevated alongside Trent Sherfield to be a starting wide receiver for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brooks has received zero targets with only four offensive snaps played this year, but he ended the 2024 season with 12 receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown on 30 targets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
