Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Catches one pass in loss
Jalen Brooks caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.Brooks was held in check Sunday, catching only one pass for the sixth time this season. The second-year wideout has recorded multiple receptions just once this season, when he caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 9. Through nine games, Brooks has totaled just eight grabs for 107 scoreless yards. The 24-year-old should remain an unreliable option for fantasy purposes, especially with the Dallas Cowboys turning to Cooper Rush at quarterback with Dak Prescott (hamstring) undergoing season-ending surgery. The Cowboys will host the Texans in Week 11.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Season-high two catches Sunday
Jalen Brooks caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.The second-year wideout saw five-plus targets for the second time in the last three games but once again failed to do much with the increased volume, although his two catches were a season high. Brooks remains an afterthought in the Dallas Cowboys offense, but he could be pushed into a bigger role Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ends up missing time.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Targeted six times
Jalen Brooks caught one of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.Brooks saw a significant bump in his usage Sunday, playing 49 of the Dallas Cowboys' 69 offensive snaps. The second-year receiver's 71 percent snap share and six targets were both season highs, though it bears mentioning that a significant amount of his playing time came while the Cowboys were facing a big deficit in the second half. Even with fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (knee) on injured reserve, Brooks will likely struggle to see consistent volume in the passing game in more competitive contests.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Just one catch in Week 5
Jalen Brooks caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers.Even with Brandin Cooks (knee) on IR, there wasn't much of a role for Brooks in the Dallas Cowboys offense, as KaVontae Turpin moved into the No. 3 wideout role instead. Brooks has yet to catch more than one pass in a game this season, giving him very little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 6 clash with the Lions.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Active in Week 3
Jalen Brooks (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Ravens.The reserve wideout was limited in the last two practices of the week, but Brooks will be available to Dak Prescott as the No. 4 receiver behind the top trio of CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert. Brooks has played an unsurprisingly minor role thus far over the first two games, recording a 2-28 line on four targets.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Questionable versus Baltimore
Jalen Brooks (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.Brooks was added to the injury report Thursday, getting in limited practice reps Thursday and Friday. His mid-week addition is an ominous sign for his Week 3 availability, but it sounds like Brooks' status will come down to Sunday morning. Brooks has two catches for 28 yards on four targets through two games and has played an increased role as the Dallas Cowboys' WR4 early this season.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Pops up on injury report
Jalen Brooks (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.Brooks wasn't listed on the Dallas Cowboys' injury report Wednesday, but it appears the 2023 seventh-round pick is nursing an ankle injury. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Brooks has caught two passes (on four targets) for 28 yards across the first two games of the regular season.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: One grab against New Orleans
Jalen Brooks caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.The second-year wideout has caught exactly one pass in each of the Dallas Cowboys' first two games this season. While he's holding down a steady role in the offense, Brooks isn't likely to see significant volume as long as CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert are all healthy.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Leading receiver in preseason loss
Jalen Brooks caught both his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 13-12 preseason loss to the Rams.With CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert both sitting this one out along with most of the Dallas Cowboys' other offensive starters, Brooks got the start at wideout and caught a 43-yard strike from Cooper Rush on the team's opening drive. The second-year wideout then hooked up with Trey Lance for a short completion on Dallas' second possession before Brooks called it a day. The South Carolina product appears to have a fairly firm hold on the No. 4 spot on the depth chart, but that job could become more interesting from a fantasy perspective if Lamb's absence extends into the regular season, or he isn't quite up to speed by Week 1.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Could push for No. 3 role
Jalen Brooks looked good during spring practices and may get a chance to compete for the No. 3 receiver role in Dallas, ESPN.com's Todd Archer reports.Jalen Tolbert is the favorite for the role, having essentially split it with Michael Gallup (now on the Raiders) last season. Brooks, meanwhile, played 77 snaps on offense and 82 on special teams in seven games as a rookie seventh-round pick, with four of his six catches coming in a 49-17 win over the Giants in Week 10. He was often a healthy scratch last season but now has an opportunity to move up to third or fourth on the depth chart behind entrenched starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.
