2. Cook will have another huge performance

The second bold prediction that will occur in the showdown against the Denver Broncos in Week 11 for the Minnesota Vikings is that Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook will once again have a breakout performance to pace Minnesota to another win in the 2019 campaign.

Through 10 weeks of action in the 2019 NFL regular season, Cook has been one of the best running backs in the entire league, and he displayed his dual-threat potential once again in the Week 10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

In the win over the Cowboys, Cook finished the game with a team-best 97 yards rushing with one touchdown and 26 carries on the ground to pace the Vikings running attack. Through the air, Cook led all Minnesota receivers with 86 yards receiving on seven catches and seven overall targets.

Entering Week 11 this weekend, Cook has tallied 991 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns on the ground for the Vikings, averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 203 rushing attempts. In the passing game, Cook has tallied 40 receptions with 424 yards receiving through the air.

The young star running back currently ranks first in the NFL in rushing yards, first in rushing attempts, third in touchdowns and is third in rushing yards per game (99.1) among other running backs throughout the league.

Cook has been a huge part and has played a large role in Minnesota continuing to roll so far in the 2019 campaign, and he is starting to become an even bigger part of the passing game in the Vikings offense to go along with his already stellar ability to run the ball in the ground attack.

Cook has gotten off to a stellar start to his third season in the NFL and with the Vikings up to this point, and he will once again display his dominance with the Broncos rolling into US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon.
