Minnesota @ Chicago
Team Totals: Vikings 25.5, Bears 19.5
Dalvin Cook returned from his latest shoulder scare for last Thursday’s meeting with Pittsburgh, ethered the Steelers for 27/205/2 (7.6 YPC) rushing, and used Minnesota’s post-TNF “mini-bye” to wave off any lingering health concerns. Alexander Mattison (Covid) is unavailable to threaten Cook’s workload, while Chicago’s Khalil Mack-less defense has given up the NFL’s 12th-most fantasy running back points. Cook is capable of leading all NFL backs in touches and fantasy scoring in any given week. His matchup is further improved by the Bears’ losses of DLs Eddie Goldman and Mario Edwards to the Covid list. … Six of the last eight quarterbacks to face Chicago banked top-15 fantasy weeks, including five top-nine scores. Kirk Cousins’ TD-pass projection is lessened by Adam Thielen’s (high ankle) ongoing absence, yet Cousins ranks eighth at his position in per-game fantasy scoring and has earned fringe QB1/2 valuation here.
