Brandin Cooks Sets (Meager) Season Highs with CeeDee Lamb Out

Brandin Cooks Sets (Meager) Season Highs with CeeDee Lamb Out

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks led the team in targets (8), receptions (4), and receiving yards (52) with WR CeeDee Lamb out for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. All three marks also set season highs for Cooks. TE Jake Ferguson (5), WR Jalen Tolbert (4), and WR/RB Kavontae Turpin (4) trailed him in targets.

The Cowboys announced Thursday that WR CeeDee Lamb will miss the final two games of the season with his shoulder injury.

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.
