Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has been a consistent force for the last 3 seasons. Cook found himself a place in the NFL Top 100 for the 2nd consecutive season, and in the Pro Bowl for 3rd straight time.
Below, we look at Dalvin Cook‘s 2022, fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Cook will enter his 6th season in the NFL. Overall, he has improved with age and has oddly become more durable. He should get a boost this season with a revised offense.
Though the running back competition is stiff, Cook looks to outshine the others as the Vikings forge ahead through the 2022 season.
Dalvin Cook’s ADP: 10.55
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Cook has an ADP of 10.55 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the 1st range of the draft. Cook is the highest-ranking member of the Vikings.
Among running backs Cook’s ADP puts him 6th at the position, behind the likes of Austin Ekeler (Los Angeles Chargers), Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans), and Najee Harris (Pittsburgh Steelers), and slightly ahead of Joe Mixon (Cincinnati Bengals), D’Andre Swift (Detroit Lions), and Nick Chubb (Cleveland Browns).

Where should you draft Cook?
The Vikings added a new head coach in Kevin O’Connell, and he’s expected to make a drastic difference in the offensive efficiency in an underwhelming yet overly talented core.
He’s already received praise from teammate Justin Jefferson as the star receiver noted the offense will be “less predictable.”
That should only mean more efficient production from Cook. The veteran is primed for a breakout season and is coming off a solid 2021 campaign.
He’s topped 100 yards in 3 straight seasons, playing only 13 games last season yet going for 1,159 yards. Cook has also had over 45 targets in 4 straight seasons, so he does have a role as a pass catcher.
Cook averaged the 9th-most fantasy points per game among backs that played at least 10 games. Having played over 13 in 3 straight seasons, the consistency has been there as well.
He’s a competent receiver, a solid runner, and primed for success in a new system. All things point to Cook being a strong top-10 pick. Feel free to reach for him into the 6-8 range.
