Brandin Cooks

According to multiple reports, Dallas is acquiring second-year receiver Jonathan Mingo from Carolina.

The Cowboys will receive Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 fourth-round pick. Mingo, 23, was a second-round pick last season, catching 43 passes for 418 yards. But he has been largely phased out of the offense in 2024, catching just 12 passes for 121 yards in nine games — despite being on the field for 56 percent of the club’s offensive snaps. Mingo has not had a catch since the Oct. 13 loss to Atlanta, and that was for just 1 yard. He’s received four targets over the last two games, the story went on to say. In Carolina, Legette should remain the team's top target. Thielen could end up getting moved today as well, but is due back soon. Coker should get WR2 looks for the rest of the season. Meanwhile in Dallas, Lamb is banged up but has a chance to play in Week 10. Mingo could eventually climb up as the WR2 if he can pass Tolbert, but this change of scenery could at least leave him as the team's WR3 in the immediate future once he gets up to speed. Coker has already been a popular pickup, but if Mingo is on your wire he may be worth adding with the hope his value goes up, mostly in deeper leagues.
