Dalvin Cook, Jets have mutual interest

Dalvin Cook, who was reportedly favorited to land in New England, may still find himself on the rival New York Jets in 2023.

Fantasy Impact

Cook was released by the Vikings after six excellent seasons in Minnesota and has since been rumored to sign with a few different teams including all the AFC East teams, except Buffalo. While the Jets are still in on Cook they seem to be pleased with their current RB room and think that rising star Breece Hall, who is recovering from a torn ACL will be able to be their starting back in Week 1. Time will tell where Cook ends up, but it is unlikely he sees the same fantasy success he has in past seasons as the bonafide #1 option in Minnesota.

Fantasy Football Outlook

We may have finally seen the end of Dalvin Cook‘s elite status among fantasy RBs in 2022. The Vikings star RB finished dead last among all ball carries in rushing EPA and rushes for zero or negative yardage. Cook ended the season as the RB8 overall and RB10 in points per game despite earning the league’s 4th-highest opportunity share (78%). With Minnesota re-investing in the running back position with Alexander Mattison returning, Cook was let go from the roster. Given Cook’s downfall in efficiency, fantasy football managers need to proceed with caution drafting him even if he ends up signing in a juicy landing spot.
