3 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is trending towards playing in Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is officially listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football and will be a game-time decision. The Vikings star running back dislocated his shoulder in Week 12 and missed the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Vikings expected Cook back on December 20 against the Chicago Bears. If active, he will play with a harness for added protection. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring the situation until kickoff at 8:20 p.m. EST. If Cook cannot go, Alexander Mattison would lead the Vikings backfield and is a must-start against a Steelers defense that ranks 25th in Rush DVOA. Stay tuned.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
