in 2020 DC carried the rock too often imo...
This year? He's averaging 21 a game to-date, that ain't overuse imo: https://fantasyfootballers.org/rb-runnin...nfl-stats/

Mattison gets the chance at pay back for last year.
Hope he has the best game of his career!

Running back Dalvin Cook is officially inactive for the Vikings' home opener on Sunday afternoon against the Seahawks.Cook was held out of practices all week due to a sprained right ankle suffered at the end of last week's loss in Arizona. Despite coach Mike Zimmer saying Wednesday the team would "continue to play" Cook through his latest injury, the centerpiece of the Vikings offense will be shelved to heal after he was unable to practice all week.
It's the 22nd game Cook has been ruled out due to injury in his five-year NFL career, and his first absence of this season. Only two running backs — Tennessee's Derrick Henry and Carolina's Christian McCaffery — entered Week 3 with more yards from scrimmage than Cook's 252 yards. Running back Alexander Mattison will make his third NFL start, with running back Ameer Abdullah and fullback C.J. Ham shouldering the rest of the workload. Mattison's career-high 112 rushing yards came against the Seahawks last year, when he replaced Cook in the second half and eventually missed a hole on a key fourth down https://www.startribune.com/vikings-seah...600101052/

No Cook really hurts the Vikings chances...

Quote: @purplefaithful said:No doubt. You know who I think it hurts the most? Kirk Cousins. Seattle would've done what both Cinci and Arizona did: focus on Dalvin and force Cousins to beat them. Which he did to those teams a few times. Mattison is a good runner who will get yardage against this defense, but without Cook putting the fear of housing every touch in them, they won't play favorites. That will benefit Mattison, but hurt Cousins. With any luck the Vikings pass rush against that awful OL will make it irrelevant. |
