Dalvin Cook Officially Ruled Out
6 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Cook has played in only three games this year due to recurring hamstring issues, and he's been a big-time early-round fantasy bust so far. Expect him to be out through the team's Week 10 bye as they try to get him healthy for the stretch run. Latavius Murray has come on strong of late and should remain the workhorse in the backfield. However, he could falter against the Saints, who allow just 18.0 fantasy points per week to the running back position. Murray is firmly on the RB2 map.
