The Dallas Cowboys acquired WR Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans Sunday, March 19, in exchange for a fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft and a sixth-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, according to multiple sources.
Huddle Up: This marks the fourth time in his career that the 29-year-old Cooks has been traded. Although he only had 57 receptions for 699 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, he has eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark six times in his career. He has shown that he can be productive with virtually any quarterback throwing to him and can be viewed as a WR3 in fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks, New York Jets WR Elijah Moore, free-agent WR Adam Thielen (Vikings), impending free-agent WR Mecole Hardman (Chiefs) and impending free-agent WR DJ Chark Jr. (Lions) are among the veteran receivers expected to be on the Cleveland Browns' radar at the start of free agency next week, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks appears just as likely to be traded as of Tuesday, Feb. 28, as he did at the end of the season, according to comments made by general manager Nick Caserio.
"We'll do what's best for the team moving forward," Caserio said when asked about a Cooks trade on Tuesday.
Huddle Up: About the only complicating factor in Cooks getting dealt is his fully guaranteed $18 million salary in 2023. He clearly did not want to play for the team anymore by the end of last season, although it remains to be seen if new head coach DeMeco Ryans or offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik have had a chance to change his mind yet. Almost regardless of where he ends up, Cooks should be considered a solid fantasy WR3 at worst next season.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks doesn't want to be part of the team's rebuild in 2023. "I'm not going into this offseason thinking I want to be a part of a rebuild," Cooks said Monday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: Cooks, who is under contract through 2024, was not happy about remaining in Houston at the trade deadline, but he's been a good soldier overall in his three losing seasons with Houston. The veteran has been a 1,000-yard machine during his career, so he should have suitors if he lands on the trade market and could very well return to fantasy relevance in a better situation. That said, he's due a hefty salary the next two years, which could make things difficult. Whatever happens, don't expect Cooks to be back in Houston in 2023.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks caught five of his six targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in a 32-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.
Huddle Up: His 2022 season wasn't without drama, and after pushing for a trade to a contender during the year, there is a good chance Cooks could be a cap casualty this offseason. In the right situation Cooks still has something to offer fantasy squads.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks has been looking for a trade since before the trade deadline, and the team is expected to accommodate that request this offseason.
Huddle Up: Cooks should receive interest from multiple teams this season and likely will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2023. He has shown he can produce with any quarterback and can be a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans C Jimmy Morrissey (concussion) and TE Teagan Quitoriano (thigh) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. RB Dare Ogunbowale (knee) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Friday, Dec. 30, and is listed as questionable. OL Kenyon Green (ankle), OL Justin McCray (hamstring), DB M.J. Stewart (concussion) and OT Tytus Howard (concussion) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. WR Brandin Cooks (personal) was not given a practice designation Friday but is expected to play.

Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 29.
Huddle Up: Cooks probably will be available for the Week 17 game, but fantasy players will know more in the next day or two. He is the main option in the passing game when in the lineup and can be a flex option in most leagues when healthy.
