Draft note

by John Paulsen

Cook finished No. 3 and No. 5 in half-PPR formats the last two seasons and once again projects for a productive season. He has missed nine games in the last three seasons, so it’s probably wise not to expect 16-17 games out of Cook. Still, he’s the consensus RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey.

The Vikings will have RB Dalvin Cook and WRs Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen Week 6 as none of the trio carries an injury designation.

Fantasy Impact:

All three being left off the injury report goes a long way with a road game against a good Carolina Panthers defense.

MIN RB Dalvin Cook - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Panthers

Cook is ready to return to the lineup. He was able to practice all week, which is a great sign for his potential workload against the Panthers. It's likely that we'll see Alexander Mattison return to a full-fledged backup role, even after his strong performance in Cook's absence.

Cook goes up against a Panthers defense that ranks 1st in aFPA to running backs and 12th in rush DVOA, so it's a bad spot here. Obviously, you're firing up Cook regardless of matchup, but there's a decent chance that this is more of a floor week for the star running back.
