BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been targeted nine times through the first two games of the season and is worth picking up in 12-team leagues due to his role in Dallas.
While Cooks struggled a bit in Week 2, catching just two passes for 19 yards, he was on the field for 81% of the team's offensive snaps. Jalen Tolbert outperformed Cooks with a team-high nine targets, which he turned into six receptions for 82 yards, but I don't buy that as more than a one-week blip for now.
That end around to Brandin Cooks had potential. Jalen Brooks had a key missed block though. Alontae Taylor beat him and made the play.

The Cowboys also lack a run game this year, which is going to lead to huge passing numbers for quarterback Dak Prescott. Rostering the No. 2 option in the pass game is a smart fantasy move, even if there will be games like the loss to the Saints where he takes a backseat.
