Cook had some touchdown regression after an 18-spike season in 2024, but all of his efficiency metrics improved and he still spiked 14 times. Cook was briefly a second-round pick in spring but has justly made his way into the first round over the past few weeks. Still on the escalator entering his age-27 season, this is a very safe place to park money.
