Dalvin Cook Week 6 Outlook - Ravens at Titans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Oct 10th 2018, 11:39am EDT

The Vikings need their run-game to get going and this could be their opportunity to do just that, as the Cardinals have allowed eight rushing touchdowns compared to just five passing touchdowns. They're the only team in the NFL who's allowed fewer passing touchdowns than rushing touchdowns. The Vikings offensive line should be able to get some push against a Cardinals defensive front that's had little success under new head coach Steve Wilks, though it doesn't help that there's been five running backs who've totaled at least 18 carries against them. When you see that much volume, you're likely to break at some points. They've faced 34.8 rushing attempts per game, which is by far the most in the NFL through five weeks, as the closest team is the Dolphins, who've allowed 29.2 carries per game. It's why the Cardinals have allowed at least 27.8 PPR points to running backs in every game. This could be the game where Cook gets back on track, though we'll want to make sure he's practicing in full throughout the week before committing to him as a high-end RB2.
