Bottom Line

After an ugly 2022 and the addition of Brandin Cooks, Gallup won’t cost much in summer drafts.

The good news? He’s likely to stick around as the No. 3 target for QB Dak Prescott. And an injury to either Cooks or CeeDee Lamb could make Gallup – now 100% following a January, 2022 ACL tear – a weekly fantasy option.

Short of that scenario, Gallup is more of a draft-and-stash in lineup-setting leagues. He holds plenty of upside for best ball rosters.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Gallup tore his left ACL on January 2, 2022. He missed the first three games of last season.
  • When on the field, Gallup clearly didn’t showcase pre-injury form.
    • Among 80 WRs with 50+ targets, Gallup ranked 77th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade, 58th in yards per catch, and 77th in yards per route run.
  • Gallup averaged only 5.3 targets, 30.3 yards, and 0.29 TDs per game.
  • The Cowboys offense wasn't exactly pass-happy.
    • They sat 19th in pass attempts; 22nd in pass rate (-6% vs. expected).
    • Note: Dak Prescott missed Week 2 through Week 6 with a fractured thumb.
  • Gallup finished as a top-36 PPR WR only three times.


What to Expect in 2023
  • In February, Gallup underwent an arthroscopic procedure to his right knee and right ankle.
  • Gallup was fine to participate in OTAs. In fact, Gallup has generated plenty of hype this offseason.
    • Said Dak Prescott: “[He’s] starting to come back into who Michael Gallup is and feel himself. That’s a guy that I’ve got a lot of trust in. He’s getting his feet under him, and he’s going to be better.”
    • Here’s how Gallup assessed his health and performance now vs. 2022: "I was thinking too much. My knee was feeling sore, and it was just different. Last year at this time, I couldn’t walk. It’s different now. I feel springy again. It just feels different.”
    • HC Mike McCarthy talked up a bigger role and a more diverse route tree.
  • McCarthy will call plays following OC Kellen Moore’s move to L.A.
    • Brian Schottenheimer earned the promotion to OC. He’s talked about keeping a “fast” approach on offense while not making any drastic changes overall.
  • Dallas added 30-year-old WR Brandin Cooks in a trade.
    • Cooks isn’t the No. 1 WR we saw earlier in his career, but he’s a solid No. 2 and should help stretch the field. He does project as the 2nd option ahead of Gallup.
  • Dallas let TE Dalton Schultz walk in free agency and doesn’t have a proven replacement on the roster.
    • Schultz’s absence leaves 89 targets available from last year’s offense.

Dak Prescott, QB DAL

6:35am EDT 9/25/23

Red zone woes sink Dak Prescott

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott struggled in the red zone in Week 3, leading to a lowly 249-1-1 passing line. “It just goes back to myself, the offense, in the red zone,” Dak said. “We get better there, we win this game. But we've got to fix that area, period.” After going one of five in the red zone on Sunday, the Cowboys now rank 27th in RZ efficiency. If we’re searching for a positive: Michael Gallup enjoyed his best game of 2023 (6-92). Brandin Cooks also returned in this one and dodged a setback. Prescott will look to rebound at home vs. New England.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Jets today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Reportedly dealing with a sprained MCL, Cooks did not practice all week. His absence will elevate Michael Gallup to the No. 2 WR role -- and likely Jalen Tolbert to No. 3. Neither guy is an exciting fantasy play against a stingy Jets secondary.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) did not practice all week. He’s listed as questionable, and owner Jerry Jones labeled him a game-time decision for Sunday’s tilt with the Jets. But it’s safe to assume that Cooks won’t be anywhere close to 100% if he suits up. Keep him on fantasy benches this week. Cooks' absence would leave extra targets for WR CeeDee Lamb, WR Michael Gallup, and TE Jake Ferguson, among others.

The Athletic's Jon Machota lists WR Brandin Cooks as one of the Cowboys who has stood out most in training camp. "Coaches and players have talked plenty about the added emphasis this year on the deep ball and Cooks is going to be arguably the most significant factor for that," Machota writes. "His speed is unmistakable and gives [QB Dak] Prescott added confidence in getting the ball downfield and opens things up for other receivers underneath." Cooks won't challenge WR CeeDee Lamb for the target lead. But it sounds like he's the favorite to finish second in targets, ahead of WR Michael Gallup. See where Cooks sits in our updated fantasy football WR rankings.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup is seeing extra snaps in the slot, per HC Mike McCarthy. Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News says the “goal is for [Gallup] to develop into more of a moving piece.” Gallup ran only 8% of his routes from the slot last year and hit the same number in 2021. We're not expecting a major spike, but it's nice for Dallas to add more versatility to Gallup's role -- especially with Brandin Cooks in town. Gallup profiles as a fantasy WR5.

Dynasty Write-up
Gallup looked sluggish in 2022 -- hardly a surprise considering his January ('22) ACL tear. Dallas added target competition this offseason with Brandin Cooks. Gallup, 27, is under contract through the 2026 season but could be a cut candidate next spring.
