MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New England Patriots

Dalvin Cook is really struggling as a runner this season. If you take away his one 70-yard run, he's averaging 2.4 yards per carry. Thankfully for fantasy owners, he's made up for it by being a solid receiver. He caught three passes for 47 yards and a touchdown last week and is catching up to his rushing yards (228) with his receiving (172).

He gets a somewhat tough matchup against the Patriots this week where you can expect similar production from him. He'll likely struggle as a rusher, make a few plays as a receiver, and have a shot at a score. He can be viewed as an RB2 option.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers

Dalvin Cook led the Vikings in rushing yards last week ... with 12 yards. Aside from a 70-yard run vs. the Lions, Cook hasn't been able to do a whole lot this season. He's missed most of the year due to injury, and he's been pretty poor in his return from that injury. Maybe he'll get going at some point, but it's certainly been a frustrating year for Cook owners.

He gets a somewhat favorable matchup vs. the Packers this week. Green Bay has allowed at least 110 rushing yards to backs in four of the last five games, giving up four rushing touchdowns in that span. Cook had 90 yards vs. Green Bay earlier in the year, and can be viewed as an RB2 option in Week 12.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Chicago Bears

Dalvin Cook surprised many by returning before the bye week. He broke off a 70-yard run, but that was about it. Outside of that carry, he had nine carries for 19 yards. He did add four receptions for 20 yards on top of that, though. With the extra bye week, we expect Cook to be fully healthy and get more touches than he did in Week 9.

Cook gets a brutal matchup vs. Chicago this week as the Bears have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to backs. Chicago has held backs to 60 rushing yards or less in 6-of-9 games this season while only giving up one rushing score to the position all year. Cook can be viewed as an RB2 play.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Jets

Once again, it looked like Dalvin Cook was going to play last week only for him to be ruled inactive. He practiced in full on Wednesday only to not practice on Thursday, leaving his availability for Sunday up in question. Cook has shown promise when he has played, but he hasn't done much of that in 2018 so it's difficult to know where he's at right now.

Assuming he does play, he gets a decent matchup against the Jets this week. New York is in the middle of the league when it comes to defending backs, so Cook should be fine if healthy. We like him as a low-end RB2 or flex play against the Jets.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Dalvin Cook should be back this week after missing last game with a hamstring injury. Cook totaled at least 90 yards in his first two games when he was healthy, but has played sparingly since. He's been a full participant in practice this week so he should finally be ready to return to being a strong back.

And he gets a great matchup to do it, as he faces the Cardinals who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing backs this year. Arizona is allowing the second-most rush yards per game (142.4) and has allowed nine total scores to the position — the most in the league. We like Cook as a strong RB2 play.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Philadelphia Eagles

Dalvin Cook has been frustrating this season as he deals with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss one game. But in addition to being inactive once, he's been limited in his touches as well. He's had just 10 carries in each of his last two games, and he's gained a total of 58 yards on those 20 attempts.

He should be active this week against the Eagles, but it doesn't look good on paper. Philadelphia has been brutal to RBs this season, allowing an average of 40 rushing yards to backs this season while only giving up one score.

We know you likely drafted Cook as an RB1, but he's more of an RB3 choice this week given the circumstances. Bad matchup, injury and limited touches makes him a poor play.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Los Angeles Rams

Dalvin Cook missed last week with a hamstring injury, but Mike Zimmer said the second-year back has a "possibility" to play Thursday night. Cook did not practice on Monday, but was a limited participant on Tuesday.

When asked about the injury, Cook told reporters, “It’s still taking this thing day to day and seeing how I feel Thursday. It’s just something you can’t control, so it’s just how it feels Thursday.’’

If he does play, we like him as an RB2 play.
