Start or sit Dalvin?
Sounds like Dalvin's injury might be a pain tolerance issue? It might also be a fumble issue, considering it's his right shoulder, collarbone, clavicle, whatever. I think if it were up to me I'd sit him and let it heal. We're going to need him down the stretch and in the playoffs.
Give Mad Dog Mattis a chance to show what he can do. If we can't beat a Blough-led team in the Bank, we maybe don't deserve the playoffs. I'd also like to see Mike Boone get a few carries over Abdullah. Confused why the team keeps using Abdullah over Boone, who for two years, has been absolutely electric every time he touches the ball. Can't remember who it was but there's a football writer who's convinced that Boone would be a starter on a third of NFL teams.

I agree completely. Mattison and Boone would be a handful for any defense. Give Dalvin time to heal.
Agree as well. Not sure it will heal until the offseason, but at least give it some time to lose the tenderness.
Absolutely sit him. And this has nothing to do with the fact that Mattison is on my fantasy bench. Honest.
I don’t think we win division. I think we make playoffs.
When in doubt - rest them.

After the past two games I had been wondering if the NFL had figured out Cook and/or our blocking schemes for him - but maybe it's the injury.

I'd still sit him. If he didn't fully recover during the bye, I doubt he's near 100%...
@"Ralphie" said:Same here, carried both him and Kareem Hunt all season. Hunt's earned his place on the roster, should be Mattison's opportunity to step up and show he deserved to be on there too. We are talking playoffs here.@"BarrNone55" said: Absolutely sit him. And this has nothing to do with the fact that Mattison is on my fantasy bench. Honest. Ha! Me too!
Sounds like he's playing...
I wouldn't do it myself, but if he's ready to go he's ready to go I guess...
Based on how they handled the Thielen injury, I don’t have the greatest confidence they will make the right call.
