Dalvin Cook Expected To Keep Playing Through Injury
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) said he's "not 100% yet" but is planning to keep playing through his ankle injury. Cook said "part of the game is playing through pain" and that he doesn't think his injury is getting worse. The 26-year-old had just nine carries for 34 yards and caught two of his six targets for 10 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Cleveland Browns in his return from a one-game absence. Cook's words don't exactly inspire a ton of confidence for fantasy managers, but the good news is that the Vikings have a great matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 5. Detroit's defense has allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing RBs so far this year, so Cook will remain firmly in the RB1 picture despite his dud last Sunday.
