Fantasy Football Player Notes
2021 Rest of Season Rankings

2.
Dalvin Cook
RB - (vs . CHI)
Cook wasn't limited at all in his return to the offense in Week 6. The fantasy superstar was on the field for 74% of the snaps and handled 89% of the RB attempts. Additionally, he handled 100% of the SDD snaps, LDD snaps, and two-minute offense. Minnesota has a Week 7 bye, but Cook has a claim to be the top player in fantasy football with Christian McCaffrey currently on IR.

Justin Jefferson
WR - (vs . CHI)
As of this writing we've been told that Adam Thielen is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. It's unclear how much time he will miss just yet, but any amount of absence could lead to an eruption for Jefferson's usage. The sophomore wideout has a chance to go nuclear in the fantasy playoffs if Thielen misses considerable time.

Alexander Mattison
RB - (vs . CHI)
Mattison didn't dominate in Week 16 as much as he has in previous spot starts throughout his career. However, he still rushed for 41 yards, scored a touchdown, and caught three passes. It was a more-than-serviceable fantasy result. Luckily for Mattison managers, he could remain the starter in Week 17 if Dalvin Cooks is still on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Monitor the situation throughout the week. A trip to Lambeau is on deck.

K.J. Osborn
WR - (vs . CHI)
Osborn's number of routes run will likely fluctuate week to week depending on game script, but he's suddenly locked in as Minnesota's No. 3 wide receiver. Note that the Vikings are using far less 12 personnel sans Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith Jr.
