Vikings RB Dalvin Cooks says hamstring is fine

Sep 16, 2018

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook told me the hamstring issue that cropped up late is just a cramp. He’s fine.

Fantasy Impact:

This report is certainly good news but we have to remember we can't always trust when a player says he's fine or is going to play in a game. Continue to monitor Cook this week leading up to Week 3.

Omar Cooper Jr. expected to return Sunday; Adonai Mitchell ruled out

Aaron Glenn said Omar Cooper Jr. would practice fully Friday and is expected to play against New England. Cooper still needs to be activated from injured reserve. The Jets ruled Adonai Mitchell out with his finger injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper is worth a speculative bench addition, with a path to WR3/FLEX value if he immediately earns regular routes. Managers should confirm his activation and expected workload before starting him in his first game back. Wilson remains the clear WR1 play.

Breece Hall ruled out against Patriots

Adonai Mitchell, Breece Hall, Dylan Parham and Joseph Ossai are OUT for Sunday.

Related Players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, Geno Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Allen remains a strong RB2 with RB1 upside if he continues handling most of New York’s backfield work. Hall’s managers can confidently turn to Allen again, while Davis remains a deeper-league bench option who would need a larger workload to become a dependable FLEX play.

Colts release veteran WR Darius Slayton

The Indianapolis Colts today released wide receiver Darius Slayton.

Fantasy Impact:

It's fair to say Slayton can be dropped in even the deepest of Dynasty leagues after he failed to find the field on a WR-heavy Colts team. This is slightly more encouraging for Treadwell, who has received a surprising amount of usage.
