Dalvin Cook Is An Elite RB1 In Week 11
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to keep his incredible season going with a road matchup against the Denver Broncos on tap for Week 11. Cook had 33 touches in Week 10 and totaled 183 yards, seven catches, and a rushing touchdown against a tough Dallas Cowboys Defense. He has seen a significant uptick in his passing-game involvement in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) as he is averaging 6.66 targets per game over his last three contests. The Broncos Defense has not been forgiving to running backs - they have only allowed just one rushing touchdown in their last six games and Leonard Fournette has been the only back to really explode against them. That being said, Cook has proven to be about as matchup-proof as they come. Thielen has already been ruled out, so fire up Cook as a volume-based, high-upside RB1 despite the difficult matchup.
