Malik Hooker Fantasy

The Dallas Cowboys officially came to terms on a contract with defensive back Malik Hooker. Hooker was the 15th pick of the 2017 draft and played the extent of his rookie contract with the Indianapolis Colts. He's been a strong player while on the field, but has suffered a series of injuries, culminating with a torn Achilles' tendon in September. It's a low-risk, high-reward signing for the Cowboys, who certainly need help in their secondary. Hooker could develop IDP value if he can stay healthy.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign defensive back Malik Hooker to complete their 90-man roster. Hooker and the Cowboys met for a second time on Friday and as long as everything checks out with his medicals, he should be joining the team soon. Hooker is coming off an Achilles injury that required surgery. The former first round pick has missed 17 games over the past two seasons, but he's always been a ball hawk while on the field. He's a high-upside signing for a Cowboys defense that needs help in the secondary.

Malik Hooker, a former first-round draft choice of the Indianapolis Colts, is close to signing with the Dallas Cowboys pending a physical. It's no secret that Dallas has been looking for secondary help following a disastrous 2020 season on the back end of their defense, and Hooker could be just what the team is looking for if he stays healthy. Per Michael Gehlken, Hooker would make the 90-man roster if and when he signs with the team. Hooker has missed 28 games in his four seasons to this point, but he has been productive when he's been on the field. In 36 career games Hooker has racked up seven interceptions, 11 passes defensed, 124 tackles, and two fumble recoveries. Expect Hooker to line up as a traditional free safety in 2021 alongside strong safety Donovan Wilson.
