Dalvin Cook

It's been rough sledding for Cook over the last two games, as he's run for 3.4 yards per carry. His offensive line has done him no favors, as he has the third-lowest yards before contact per carry (0.5) since Week 11. Cook didn't make much for himself either (0.5 yards after contact per carry), so his offensive line isn't the only culprit. Cook is the RB14 in fantasy averaging 17.6 touches and 91 total yards. This season Cook is 13th in yards after contact per attempt, 28th in breakaway rate, and 20th in PFF elusive rating (minimum 25 carries). Cook is an RB1, but the Jets aren't a pushover matchup despite showing that they aren't impervious since Week 7. Since then, they are ninth in rushing success rate, 17th in EPA per rush, and 11th in explosive run rate allowed.

Dalvin Cook finds end zone in Week 13 win

Dalvin Cook rushed 20 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 27-22 win over the Jets in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Cook scored on a four-yard rush early in the second quarter, and the Vikings never relinquished the lead. Cook has a solid Week 14 matchup against the Lions; he ran for 96 yards and a score against them in Week 3. He projects as an RB1 in that matchup.
