Dalvin Cook Is A Rock-Solid RB1 In Week 6
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is averaging 108.4 rushing yards/game and 5.9 yards per carry through five weeks. He also has five rushing touchdowns and has seen at least five targets in three consecutive games - you're starting him as your RB1 in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations should be slightly tempered, though, as the Eagles have allowed a league-low 63 rushing yards/game and rank second in yards per carry allowed. They aren't elite against pass-catching backs, however, as they've had three running backs rack up six catches or more and four running backs top 37 receiving yards against them. Expect Cook to register 20 touches or more as the featured player in the offense and lock him in with confidence as your RB1.
