2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cook's first season outside of Minnesota was a huge disappointment. The 28-year-old signed with the Jets to help ease Breece Hall's workload, but Cook averaged a woeful 3.2 yards per carry in New York. Cut loose late in the year, he joined the Ravens for their playoff run but made little impact. A free agent once again, the fact that he topped 1,100 rushing yards in four straight seasons prior to 2023 might earn him a look from a team in dire need of backfield help, but Cook's days of being a lead back appear to be over.

RANKS
Struggles in 2023
Cook finished the year with 75 carries for 237 yards and no touchdowns while adding 15 catches for 78 yards on 20 targets, including the postseason.
ANALYSIS
The veteran began the year with the Jets before mutually parting ways with Gang Green in time to sign with a playoff contender. Cook latched on with the Ravens and was saw some action in the divisional-round win over the Texans with eight carries for 23 yards. Unfortunately, this was the worst season of the 28-year-old's career by any metric. Cook was on a one-year deal and it does not appear likely that Baltimore will re-sign him, so the veteran projects to hit the open market as an aging running back coming off a tough year. The days of Cook garnering a long-term deal are likely behind him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Return to Baltimore?
Jeff Zriebec of The Athletic believes that the Ravens could look to bring back Cook as a late offseason free agent.
ANALYSIS
Cook didn't get many touches with the Jets behind Breece Hall during the regular season, and the former was released by New York on Jan. 2. Cook was able to latch on with the Ravens for the postseason, but he appeared in only the AFC divisional round against the Texans, when he rushed for 23 yards on eight carries. Baltimore brought in Derrick Henry from Tennessee to be the lead back in 2024, but with Keaton Mitchell working his way back from an ACL tear he sustained in Week 15, adding Cook would provide the Ravens veteran backfield depth alongside Justice Hill and 2024 fifth-round pick Rasheen Ali.

Cook's recent history shows signs of slowing even though he's only 28 this season. It's not just Cook's shoulder that's a concern -- though he underwent shoulder surgery in February and its tendency to dislocate repeatedly is not helpful -- it's more that Cook's explosiveness went missing for stretches last season. Although his year-end numbers were fine enough, he had only two weeks with triple-digit rushing totals and his fewest carries of 20-plus yards (five) since 2018. Cook played every game for the first time, had WR Justin Jefferson occupying the attention of safeties and broke off a career-long 81-yard run, yet the veteran back finished with a career-low 4.4 YPC and ran for first downs on only 18.9 percent of carries (after three consecutive years of 22.9 percent or better). No surprise, then, the Vikings released Cook in June to save $9 million in cap space after not finding a suitable trade. Cook signed with the Jets in August to provide backfield depth, but lead runner Breece Hall is coming off a torn ACL and might not be ready for Week 1. When both are available, Cook likely will cut into Hall's touches in a backup role.
