Vikings RBs Cook, Mattison both limited Thursday

Dec 26, 2019

Vikings RBs Dalvin Cook (chest) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) were limited in Thursday's practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Thursday was the first full practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday for the Vikings. There's a good chance neither plays, however. The Vikings are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, so the team is likely to let both backs rest and prepare for the Wild Card game, which could possibly be on Saturday. Mike Boone would be the lead back again but owners are likely to shy away from him after he disappointed many folks on Monday night with his disappearing act against the Packers.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson running with the starters

When the Cardinals signed veteran Zay Jones in the off-season, it created competition for second-year receiver Michael Wilson. But Wilson ran with the starters and led that group with three receptions. He is aiming to build off a rookie season in which he had 38 catches and 565 yards on 58 targets

Fantasy Impact:

Tight end Trey McBride and rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. are likely to absorb most of the Cardinals' target share, but if Wilson is playing over Jones, there still might be enough left to make him fantasy relevant. He is currently ranked as the WR60 on 4for4.

Jets WR Malachi Corley to see extra reps with Xavier Gipson's leg injury

Malachi Corley still has a “long way to go” with his route running, Robert Saleh said. The next two weeks will be good for him because he’ll see extra reps with Xavier Gipson hurt (leg injury).

Fantasy Impact:

Extra reps are certainly not a bad sign, but it's still up in the air how much fantasy usage the rookie will have in 2024. If Gipson were to miss extended time —with Mike Williams' availability still up in the air— Corley could scoot up fantasy rankings a little bit.

Fantasy Impact:

The team is set to work out kickers, so no word on who the team is bringing in yet.
