Brooks, who had been operating from the boundary at a 75 percent rate since the Cardinals parted ways with Marvin Harrison Jr., went down with a serious injury in Week 7 and might have been in play as a high-variance flex against the Cowboys' vulnerable boundary coverage.PositiveUsageOct 28, 2026
Brooks accounted for a team-leading 119 air yards (33 percent of team total) in Week 7 against the Texans, outpacing Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. This marks a significant role shift in the Cardinals offense and suggests Brooks has emerged as a primary target.NegativeInjuryOct 28, 2026
Brooks had emergency surgery on his wrist and will miss the remainder of the regular season. The team signed veteran Zay Jones Tuesday in an associated move. Expect volume to continue to remain heavily concentrated on Michael Wilson and Trey McBride.PositiveProjectionOct 14, 2026
Brooks was second on the Cardinals in air yards in Week 5 against the Lions, ran 58 percent of the team's routes, and his 12.9 aDOT suggests he could be the Marvin Harrison Jr. replacement in the Arizona offense; with the Cardinals ranking fourth in total team air yards over the past two weeks, Brooks could see increased opportunity.
