Dalvin Cook Week 10 Outlook -

First things first: A civil lawsuit filed by Cook's ex-girlfriend this week accuses him of assault, battery and false imprisonment. Because this is a civil suit rather than a criminal one, and because it has just been filed, it's highly unlikely that the league will take any action on this before the suit plays out, and the Vikings probably won't either. Setting aside the legal matters, Cook has a highly appealing matchup this week against a run-funnel Chargers defense that's given up a league-high 1,293 rushing yards and 5.0 yards per carry. Opponents are running the ball against the Chargers on about half of their offensive snaps. Over his last three games, Cook has 64-328-1 rushing but only 5-15-0 receiving. Cook is the RB2 this week.
