2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cook's first season outside of Minnesota was a huge disappointment. He signed with the Jets last summer 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 and played only nine snaps. Cook is a free agent once again, and 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. However, he'll turn 29 before Week 1 and isn't likely to be in the mix for a starting job at this point in his career. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Not on active roster for Sunday
Cook was not elevated from the practice squad Saturday and won't suit up for the Cowboys in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
With Ezekiel Elliott back in the fold after he was a healthy inactive last week for disciplinary reasons, Dallas will forgo promoting Cook from the practice squad in Week 10. Cook has done little in the two games in which he's suited up for Dallas this season, carrying eight times for 20 yards to go with a 10-yard reception across 23 offensive snaps.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will be main backup to Dowdle
Cook will serve as the primary backup to Rico Dowdle for Sunday's game against the Falcons due to Ezekiel Elliott not travelling with the team to Atlanta for disciplinary reasons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cook made his Cowboys debut in Week 8 against the 49ers, and he finished the game with six carries for 12 yards while adding one catch for 10 yards. He served as the backup to Elliott due to Dowdle being sidelined with an illness, and Cook will serve as the No. 2 option again Sunday with Dowdle back and Elliott not playing.
