He did remain healthy, however, playing in all 17 games for the first time in his career. Cook was also coming off the least efficient season of his career in 2022, posting a career-low 4.4 yards per carry. This move was financially motivated, as Cook was owed over $25 million across the next three seasons. Potential Landing Spots: Dolphins, Bills, BearsĪfter six seasons in Minnesota, the Vikings finally cut ties with Cook on June 9th. It’s just about how much risk you’re willing to tolerate. ![]() Drafting him at cost right now could either end up being a bargain, or come back to haunt you if he lands in a poor situation. I would likely draft Hopkins over the likes of Breece Hall, Calvin Ridley and Najee Harris if he lands in the right situation. However, his ADP has since dropped a bit and if he ends up signing with either the Bills, Chiefs or Lions, you could make the argument his ADP is too low. That would also be the case if he ends up with the Patriots. ![]() Hopkins 38.2 ADP earlier this offseason had me staying away in what would have been an ugly situation in Arizona. New England is a run-first team with a below average quarterback, and would severely ding his fantasy value. If he lands in Foxboro, that would be a pretty significant downgrade from the three teams mentioned above. Brown and Hopkins would be in the upper echelon of the NFL and make the Lions even more dangerous on offense.Īnother report has since surfaced that Hopkins was visiting with the Patriots. A dark horse team that would be a lot of fun would be the Lions, especially since Jameson Williams is suspended for the first six games of 2023. If he ended up in KC, he’d be the de facto WR1, although we know that Travis Kelce is the WR1 at tight end. He would step in and be the immediate WR2 on the Bills opposite Stefon Diggs and likely push Gabe Davis down the depth chart a bit. Both the Bills and Chiefs make the most sense. After being suspended for the first six games due to violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drug policy, Hopkins posted 64 catches for 717 yards and three touchdowns in his nine games.ĭ-Hop just turned 31, so it would seem likely that he signs with a true Super Bowl contender at this stage of his career. Hopkins was released by the Cardinals on May 26th after three seasons with the team, and he should have a long list of suitors after a productive 2022 campaign.
