Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Tarik Cohen said he has decided to retire.
Fantasy Impact
Cohen was reportedly having a good camp after signing with the Jets back in May. He was attempting to make his return from a torn ACL. He totaled 2,676 yards from scrimmage with 14 total touchdowns across his four seasons with the Bears.
Tarik Cohen has signed a one-year contract with the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Cohen has not played since 2020 due to multiple injuries. With injuries including a torn ACL and torn Achilles in the last few years, he will have to stay healthy throughout training camp to likely carve out a role on the Jets prior to the start of the regular season.
Tarik Cohen has been released by the Panthers after signing a new contract with the team back in January.
Fantasy Impact
In an attempt to put multiple injuries behind him and make a return to an NFL field, Cohen spent all of the last season with Carolina's scout team. He was inked to a new contract this past January with hopes of competing for a spot on the 2024 roster. Cohen was once a Pro-Bowl caliber return man and pass-catching specialist out of the backfield, but he has not played in an NFL game since 2020.
Tarik Cohen plans to sign Wednesday with the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad.
Fantasy Impact
Cohen has not played in the NFL since suffering ACL and MCL tears as well as a tibial plateau fracture in September 2020. He will provide some running back depth for Carolina as he makes his return to the NFL.
Tarik Cohen has finished rehabbing from an Achilles injury that ended his 2022 season before it started. The veteran running back is now ready to workout for NFL teams.
Fantasy Impact
With players like Kareem Hunt and Leonard Fournette still on the market, combined with Cohen's injury history, it will be hard for him to find a team willing to take him on unless he is willing to take a cheap deal. If he does find a home, it's unlikely he is viable for fantasy this season.
