Dalvin Cook News
Dalvin Cook status still unclear · Feb 23, 2023
There remains little clarity on what the Vikings plan to do with aging running back Dalvin Cook
It was an up-and-down year for Cook, who turned in his second-best performance in yards-after-contact. At the same time, as pointed out in the linked article, he also turned in a career-worst average in yards-before-contract. It's unclear if Cook is beginning to lose his effectiveness as a runner. Still under contract, the team could elect to release the veteran in a cap-savings move and turn to Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler, or even free agent Alexander Mattison. At this juncture, it would seem a return to Minnesota remains the path of least resistance for Cook, DLF's RB17. In any case, uncompetitive dynasty teams should consider moving the back if favorable return is provided.
Dalvin Cook has shoulder surgery · Feb 14, 2023
Dalvin Cook underwent shoulder surgery
Cook has had recurrent shoulder issues dating back to 2014 but has continued to be a top back. While not a free agent, the aging veteran could still be released as the Vikings attempt to clear cap room. Cook's backup, Alexander Mattison, is a free agent and could depart for a starting role though that would leave the team without both top options. The Vikings have a big decision to make and, Cook, a fan favorite, could be a casualty. That said, the team may elect to let Mattison walk in free agency and focus on finding cheaper and more creative ways to retain Cook if he's willing. The veteran runner turns 28 in August and is found as DLF's RB17.
Dalvin Cook faces uncertainty · Jan 27, 2023
Dalvin Cook faces an uncertain future in Minnesota
Cook turns 28 in August and is coming off his fourth-straight 1,000-yard campaign though his rushing production metrics dipped. Still averaging 4.4 ypc. and scoring eight touchdowns, Cook is still a productive back and remained healthy, but the Vikings clearly face a tough decision even with the veteran under contract through 2025. Backup runner Alexander Mattison is a free agent and is expected to depart for a potential starting role. Also weighing on the decision is the fact that the team holds only four selections in the 2023 NFL Draft. With such a high cap % wrapped up in Cook, it may be difficult for the Vikings to retain the veteran for the year to come. Dalvin Cook is listed as DLF's RB16 and is best rostered by competitive dynasty teams.
Dalvin Cook mediocre again · Oct 2, 2022
Dalvin Cook rushed 20 times for just 76 yards and caught both targets for 10 yards.
Cook has just one touchdown on the season and has yet to eclipse more than 13.8 PPR points to date. Currently ranked as the RB10 at DLF, the veteran better get things going or he will fall out of favor quickly amongst fantasy managers. The 27-year-old may be past his prime and has been hampered by injuries throughout most of his career. It could be time to think trade.
