Dalvin Cook rushed six times for only 17 yards and caught four passes for 19 yards during Minnesota’s 24-7 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia.
Fantasy Impact: No fantasy manager is hoping for only 36 all-purpose yards for their first-round draft pick. Through two games, Cook’s performance has been disappointing, tallying only 106 yards rushing and not even close to finding the end zone. One takeaway from the MNF shellacking is that the Eagles took a dominating lead early, essentially shutting down the run game for three full quarters. Cook has a juicy Week 3 matchup against the Lions, who have allowed 304 yards and five touchdowns to running backs through two games. While the worry is understandable, he remains an RB1 for Week 3.
