The AFC East just got a lot more crowded (and confusing) in its backfields.
Shortly after it was reported that former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott would sign with the New England Patriots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Dalvin Cook has inked a one-year deal with the New York Jets. It’s a one-year deal worth up to $8.6 million, and it creates yet another potential committee in fantasy land.
Cook finished a respectable 11th in PPR points among backs a season ago, but he also had his fewest rushing yards per game and yards per rush average. Cook was also tough to trust, scoring fewer than 11 points in eight of 17 games. Still, he’s far from “washed up” and will no doubt play a big role in the Jets offense.
