Fantasy Football Player Notes

As of this writing Dalvin Cook is scheduled to undergo an MRI on a shoulder injury that forced him from Sunday's Week 12 game against the 49ers. Mattison has proven to be able to handle a big workload in games that Cook misses in recent years. He would be a borderline RB1 against the Lions in Week 13 if Cook doesn't play.

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.
