Fantasy Football Player Notes
2020 PPR Rest of Season Rankings
|
4.
Dalvin Cook
RB - (at DET)
Cook has been utterly dominant since returning from his groin injury, getting an absurd workload and putting up even more ridiculous production. The Vikings' schedule isn't great to close out the season, particularly during the fantasy playoffs, but don't kid yourself. Cook should be valued as a top-two back going forward.

134.
Kirk Cousins
QB - (at DET)
Cousins had a truly abysmal effort in Week 2 against the Colts, barely clearing 100 yards passing and throwing three interceptions. The Vikings defense looks dreadful at the moment which, theoretically, should mean more pass attempts and fantasy production from Cousins. But, unfortunately, that hasn't really manifested itself yet and with few weapons in the passing game, Cousins should be moved down rest-of-season rankings rapidly.

196.
Alexander Mattison
RB - (at DET)
Mattison flopped in a soft matchup against the Falcons, and with a bye on tap in Week 7 and Dalvin Cook's injury looking mild, Mattison may have wasted his one shot at fantasy relevance this year. Continue to roster him as a handcuff despite his disappointing effort against Atlanta, but you obviously can't take a chance on starting him unless Cook misses the game.

238.
Irv Smith Jr.
TE - (at DET)
Smith played a fair amount in his rookie season, but he's still second fiddle to Kyle Rudolph. Although the two tight ends essentially split targets last year, Smith was used fairly closer to the line of scrimmage and almost never had a chance to break big plays. He may see a bit more usage now with plenty of vacated targets in the absence of Stefon Diggs, but he's nothing better than a low-end TE2.
