Free-agent WR Brandin Cooks (Cowboys) reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $13 million with the New Orleans Saints on Friday, March 21. The signing - when it becomes official - will send Cooks back to the team he spent his first three NFL seasons with from 2014 to 2016.
Huddle Up: Cooks still has speed to burn at 31, but his return to New Orleans is likely happening to give the Saints a decent option should Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed miss as much time as they did in 2024. Until or unless Olave and Shaheed get hurt again, Cooks' fantasy ceiling will likely be as a WR5 who is touchdown-dependent.

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR Brandin Cooks said that he is looking forward to entering free agency for the first time in his 10-year NFL career but he is also open to returning to Dallas, as long as he feels they plan to use him properly. "I don't think they fully used me to my strengths," Cooks told The Exhibit's Josina Anderson.
Huddle Up: Cooks missed seven games last year due to a knee injury but said that he is completely healthy now. There appears to be little indication that the Cowboys plan to bring back the 31-year-old veteran for a third season after he posted just 259 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 2024, marking the third year in a row that he has racked up fewer than 700 yards. He should be viewed as a late-round flier for deeper 2025 fantasy football leagues.

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks ended up with three receptions for 15 yards on nine targets in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks finished with four receptions on eight targets for a team-high 52 yards in a 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Huddle Up: With CeeDee Lamb sidelined, Cooks led the Cowboys in receptions, targets and yards. Cooks should have a similar role in the finale with Lamb already ruled out, but he would still be no more than a flex option.

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks hauled in all three of his targets for 48 yards in Week 16 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: Somewhat amazingly, his 48-yard effort was a season high. It remains to be seen if the 31-year-old has a future left in Dallas after this season, although the absence of Dak Prescott is not helping his cause. Cooks is not worth rostering in most leagues for the rest of the season.
