Dalvin Cook Is An RB1 Against Lions
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (chest) was not listed on the team's final injury report on Friday. The dynamic back will be in line for his typical huge workload in a mouth-watering matchup at home against the Detroit Lions. The Lions Defense ranks 20th in rush DVOA and they have given up the third-most points per game to the running back position on the season. Cook also already torched them for 149 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 7. There's definitely a chance that Alexander Mattison steals a few more touches than usual as the Vikings are favored by 13 points and the game could easily blow out. The team may even choose to give Cook a rest if they build a sizeable lead. All that being said, keep him locked in as an RB1 in a very favorable matchup at home. He is also a sneaky large-field tournament option to consider in daily formats.
