Vikings break off negotiations with RB Dalvin Cook

Aug 19, 2020

Tom Pelissero reports that the Vikings and star RB Dalvin Cook broke off contract negotiations on Wednesday and that Cook is focused on playing the season out on his rookie deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Cook threatened to hold out during the offseason but the new CBA always made those threats seem toothless given the financial consequences he would face for doing so. The two sides worked to agree on a long-term deal but apparently could not find common ground, so Cook will play this season on the final year of his rookie contract and hope to cash in via free agency or the franchise tag next year. This does not affect Cook's fantasy outlook other than affirming that he has plenty of motivation to put up huge numbers again this season.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
