Dalvin Cook Has Been Extremely Efficient
4 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook leads the league in rushing yards over expected by 126 yards. Cook has averaged 0.23 expected points added (EPA) per carry compared to quarterback Kirk Cousins' 0.14 EPA per dropback. Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee), who hasn't played since Week 4, is the only other running back with +100 rushing yards over expected. 49ers back Raheem Mostert (ankle), who might not be back until Week 12, sits in third place with +95 RYOE. Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is fourth (+92) and Eagles rusher Miles Sanders sits in fifth (+78). Cook has been going off for his fantasy owners and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. He has a much more difficult matchup this Sunday against the Bears Defense, but the Vikings running back is a weekly must-start.
