Another one that was pretty popular last year, this fantasy football team name has a great ring to it. Unfortunately, Dalvin Cook’s rookie campaign ended on a rather sour note, as he tore his ACL in Week 4 and watched what appeared to be an excellent first NFL season come to an early end.
Now back to full health, though, Cook could be one of the breakout stars of the 2018 fantasy season. He was electric for the Vikings during those first four games, sitting near the top of the NFL leaderboard in total rushing yards before the injury occurred.
Especially with the Vikings making an upgrade at quarterback and already possessing two star receivers, Cook should have plenty of room to run in 2018. As long as the so-so offensive line doesn’t crumble under the pressure of Super Bowl expectations, we could again see the 2017 second-round pick flirt with the 2018 NFL rushing title.
As you can see, Cook is coming off the board early. If you’re willing to roll the dice with a running back coming back from an ACL tear, maybe the Vikings’ sophomore is your man. We’ve seen one Minnesota runner bounce back in a big way before — maybe Cook’s got some of that same magic.
