Summary

Dalvin Cook continues to be one of the elite running backs in the league but his only downfall is his lack to play a full season. He has never played more then 14 games in a season and over the last four seasons has averaged 13 games played. When he is on the field he is electric as he can do it all in the backfield with rushing, scoring touchdowns, and helping in the receiving game. In 41 games over the last three seasons he has scored a total of 36 touchdowns. He has finished as the RB5, RB3, RB15 in 14, 14, 13 games over the past three seasons. The key with Cook will always be, how many games he can actually play in the season. If you could predict a full season for Cook you would have to safely put him early in the 1st round of fantasy drafts.

Dalvin Cook getting looks at WR

Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has been lining up in bunch wide receiver sets in multiple formations during the team's organized team activities, The Athletic's Chad Graff reported on Tuesday, May 17.

Minnesota to dial back the run a bit?

Minnesota Vikings RBs Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison could see a bit of a drop in rushing attempts but more work in the passing game under new head coach Kevin O'Connell and offensive coordinator Wes Phillips, according to comments made by the latter recently.'You're going to play some teams who, scheme-wise, they make it very difficult to run based on their personnel and their scheme. A guy that comes to mind is (Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator) Todd Bowles. ... They're daring you to throw it a lot of times, and sometimes that's what you've got to do to win the game. So the running game is certainly important, and you always feel better about staying on track, not being in second and longs, third and longs where more of your playbook is available. So yes, the run game is critical, but in the end, it's about winning the football game,' Phillips told Will Ragatz of SI.com.
