Dalvin Cook A Risky Fantasy Option In Week 18
2 years agoNormally, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is a must-start RB1 for fantasy purposes, especially when facing a cushy matchup like the one he has in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. In the Week 5 meeting against Chicago, Cook had 18 carries for 94 yards and his only multi-touchdown performance of the season on the ground. Cook is going to get the start this Sunday, but the Vikings are fully expected to pull their key starters at some point to ensure that they are fully healthy entering the postseason next week. It means that there's a good chance that backup running backs Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu see more work than Cook against the Bears.
