Draft Note by John Paulsen
Cook finished as the RB2 in 2020 and landed at RB15 in an injury-shortened 2021 season, though he posted the 11th-highest per game average. He does some have some legal issues going on, but they seem to be less worrisome than, say, Alvin Kamara’s legal troubles. Cook averaged 21.8 touches per game in 2021 and 25.4 touches in 2020, so he’s a bell cow when healthy. If fantasy managers are worried about Cook’s durability or legal issues, Alexander Mattison can be had in the 11th round, so pairing the two can lock up great production.
