Expert
Kyle Yates FantasyPros	Despite only playing 14 games each of the past two seasons, Cook has finished as the RB5 and the RB3. The workload that Cook sees when he's on the field is absolutely absurd and he's one of the last true workhorse RBs in the NFL. While it's almost certain that you're not going to get 16 games out of him with his injury history, Cook's worth the lofty investment at the top of your drafts because of his production when he's on the field. You should feel confident drafting Cook as a top-3 option again this season.	It's true that there's some ambiguity with this offense and how it could affect Kamara in 2021. With that being said, this is still Kamara that we're talking about here. He's in the conversation for the most talented RB in the entire NFL and there's very little reason that we should be scared off of drafting him this season. While he might not have the guarantee of targets the way that he did with Drew Brees at QB, there's very few other proven options on this depth chart that could take away work. Plus, with MT out for the start of the season, Kamara easily should become the target leader in this offense. He should still be a very safe option for 2021 and he's worth drafting with a top-5 pick.
Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts	Cook had a career year and he still missed two games. He is just electric with the ball in his hands. So on the one hand what he did in 14 games was really impressive. On the other, he still hasn't made it through a regular season unscathed. The Vikings also invested in their offensive line in the draft by adding LT Christian Darrisaw and G Wyatt Davis. (LT Riley Reiff departed in free agency.) It's possible Cook does even better in 2021, but his injury history gives me some pause. Naturally, I had him his rookie year when he went down after four games- gaa! So I speak with experience when I say ,if you draft Cook, you better invest in an Alexander Mattison insurance policy later on, just in case.	UPDATE- Hurricane Ida's damage is forcing the Saints to play the first month away from home. Losing Brees will hurt Kamara's receiving numbers. Brees was the king of check down passes. Kamara's receptions nosedived in three of the four games Brees missed last year due to injury. Make no mistake folks, that's where Kamara needs to shine to justify his first round price tag. My fear is QB Jameis Winston will eventually lose the job. He throws too many interceptions. And if Hill takes over that really hurts Kamara. Taysom will take off and run instead of throwing the check down pass. Also, the Saints need to keep Kamara fresh. If they overwork him he'll wear down. Like many NFL players, he was not in favor of the regular season increasing by one week. Despite Kamara's immense talent, I think there's a very real chance his numbers disappoint fantasy owners in 2021.
Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone		Kamara is averaging almost 30 fantasy points per game when he plays without Michael Thomas. My only concern is Hill coming in to vulture him at the goal-line.
Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal		8/27: Jameis in at starting QB = big for Kamara. Hill killed his value last year, but now it's more likely the ideal narrative plays out: Kamara becomes the WR1 for however long MT is out, a role in which he averaged 30 PPR PPG last season
Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros	After rolling for 1,654 scrimmage yards, 13 TDs, and an RB5 finish in 2019, Cook was even better in 2020. Last season, the FSU product torched opposing defenses to the tune of 1,918 scrimmage yards, 17 total TDs, and an RB3 finish. He provided these performances while appearing in just 14 games per season. Cook isn't as high volume a receiver as CMC or Kamara, but he's still secured 97 receptions across the aforementioned two-season span.	Who will be the Saints' quarterback this season, and how will that impact Kamara's fantasy outlook? I'm here to say that whoever the starter is doesn't matter one bit. Michael Thomas will open the season on the PUP list, Tre'Quan Smith is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and Deonte Harris could face suspension for a DUI arrest. Kamara should once again be the team's focal point in the passing game, having racked up 326 receptions through his first four seasons. That volume in the passing game provides the high floor and ceiling indicative of a top-3 fantasy pick.
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	Despite missing four games over the last two years, Cook has still managed to rack up 3,572 total yards and 30 touchdowns. He's still yet to play 16 games in his four-year career, but when he's on the field, he's a surefire RB1. In each of the final 12 games he played in 2020, he touched the ball a minimum of 17 times, including 24-plus touches in nine of them. The craziest part about his numbers, though, is the fact that he has 97 receptions for 880 yards over the last two years, but just one receiving touchdown, so there's room for even more of a ceiling.	You won't find a bigger Kamara fan than me, and that's going back to his college days. However, with the way Sean Payton rotates his running backs, it's going to be mighty hard for Kamara to live up to his draft cost now that Drew Brees is gone. Brees targeted his running backs at least 28 percent of the time in each of the last four years. Meanwhile, Jameis Winston hasn't targeted running backs more than 18 percent of the time in each of his last four seasons as a starter. The offense is also not nearly as likely to be scoring as many points without Brees. Upon finding out that Michael Thomas will miss time to start the season, it only makes Kamara more valuable, as he could be in line for eight-plus targets per game during that time.
Brandon Funston The Athletic	NQAI, he's a special talent, but volume is king in fantasy, and nobody handled more touches per game than Cook (25.4)	Sans Drew Brees, there's some questions about replacement QBs feeding him in pass game as heavily, but I'd be surprised if that's not a mandate of HC Payton
Dan Harris FantasyPros	Cook is as talented as any running back in the league, and would have surpassed 2,000 yards from scrimmage last year had he not missed two games due to injury. As it was, he set career bests in rushing yards (1,557), touchdowns (17), and touches (356). He's also a big play waiting to happen, as he has ripped off a run of at least 70 yards in each of the past three seasons. If there's a knock on Cook, it's that he hasn't yet stayed healthy enough to play 16 games in a season, but that's not close enough to knock him out of being an obvious top-three pick in fantasy leagues.
Derek Lofland FantasyPros	Cook had 315.8 fantasy points in 2020, but a big concern is that offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak has retired and there will be a new play caller in 2021. Cook is still a fantastic talent, but it may be tough for him to duplicate 17 touchdowns with a new play caller.	Kamara led running backs with 336.3 fantasy points in 2020, but there are questions about how this offense will look with Drew Brees retired. Kamara is a special talent and he should continue to be the focal point of their offense.
Brendan Tuma FantasyPros	When it comes to first-round fantasy selections, it's tough to find a player and situation as seemingly safe as Dalvin Cook with the Vikings. Coming off back-to-back top-five RB1 finishes, Minnesota has shown no signs of moving away from being a run-first offense. In fact, the Vikes actually set out to improve their offensive line this offseason. And one year after having a curiously atrocious defense, we can project that unit to improve as well, which of course only helps the running game. Cook is a highly bankable fantasy commodity who warrants consideration as early as No. 2 overall in 1QB redraft formats.
Tim Petropoulos BRoto Fantasy	Cook is an animal when he is on the field, emphasis on "on the field." Now entering his 5th season, he has yet to play 16 games, and with the NFL extending to a 17-game schedule, the pressure is on. The injury history of Cook is the only think holding him back from the No. 1 overall pick.	A lot of question marks around him, but there is no question about Kamara's ability. Whether its Winston or Hill under center, Kamara should continue to be the featured player in a well-designed, proven offense.

Alvin Kamara or Dalvin Cook
