Dalvin Cook Draws Great Matchup In Week 17
2 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook draws a great matchup in the fantasy championship against the Packers, who have allowed the third-most rushing yards this season. Cook is coming off a disappointing game in Week 16, as he posted just 77 scrimmage yards and failed to find the end zone. Regardless of some of his underwhelming performances, Cook's elite usage this season has put him in the weekly RB1 discussion, while a matchup like this makes him an elite option to slot into lineups this week. The four-time 1,000-yard rusher will look to get loose on the ground against a run defense that has allowed 5.0 yards per carry, potentially setting him up for one of his best performances of the season. We've seen Cook produce elite numbers against weaker defenses all season long, including 190 scrimmage yards and a score against the Colts in Week 15.
