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.
Reverts to practice squad
Brooks reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the league's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Brooks was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster for Sunday's game against the Rams, and he finished with two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards while returning three kickoffs for 66 yards. With Greg Dortch (chest) on injured reserve and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) dealing with injuries, Brooks could be elevated from the practice squad for this Sunday's road tilt against the Texans.

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.
