Nap Time 1,060 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Is that the best 2-game fantasy performance (478 yards, 6 TDs) for a RB in NFL history? It must be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Soafanforlife 430 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 What a season. Special, considering he missed 2 games. Really hoping he does not slow down. Seems utterly ridiculous, but maybe we see a 20-25 TD season on tap? We're at 13, with 7 games left. 1.5 scores a game does not seem like an insane thing, all things considered. The Vikings literally give him the ball at every single opportunity. Mind bogglingly simple, yet effective, for the best runner in the league. Link to post Share on other sites

This guy is way too risky to take in the 1st round, let alone in the Top 5. Vikings lost Diggs. They have 2 slot receivers and no deep threat, teams will stack the box on Cook. Cook will face 8-9 in the box on a weekly basis. He won't catch a whole lot of passes. He will be very ineficient running the ball. He will get worn down and likely get hurt at some point. Your 1st round pick cannot be a Bust. Cook has enormous Bust potential. 12 players who are wiser investments than D Cook in Round 1: CMC Saquon Zeke Kamara Thomas CEH Adams Mixon Tyreek Julio Henry Drake I know Pis (fitting name tbh) here is unironically trolling (or ironically, who knows), but if anyone on these forums have listened to this man's calls this season across ALL positions... congratulations. You've played yourself. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Soafanforlife 430 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 On 8/18/2020 at 7:04 AM, PisEdiRin said: No chance of Cook being efficient without Diggs or a quality deep threat on the field. The less speed on the perimeter, the more defenses play closer to the LOS. Defenses aren't stupid - it's obvious that if you stop Cook, you stop the 2020 Vikings from doing anything. They have no other threats on offense. Then factor in the Injury risk. Drafting a guy like Dalvin Cook in Round 1 is exactly how you lose your league on Draft Day. People like you just still do not get it - YOUR FIRST ROUND PICK IN FANTASY CANNOT BE A BUST. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to establish a rhythm as a run and pound team, when your defense is giving up the farm every single week. .. and yet, he's still been an RB1 in every format that you're playing in. Outscored through 2 weeks the likes of: Barkley, Henry, Mixon, CEH. Depending on how Kamara and Jacobs looks tomorrow, he could still be well ahead, although those 2 had monster week 1s. RBs ahead of him after 2 weeks of scoring: Jones, CMC (hurt), Zeke, Mostert (hurt), Carson. He's the RB6 overall, with a floor at RB9, with a team that probably would've lost to the Jets today (looking at you Zimmer). Once he gets back to a 25 touch week, ceiling games will be back in play. Hold strong, and cuff hard with Mattison. I think if it all shakes out well, he might outscore Kamara and end up top 3, depending on what Jones and Jacobs looks like at the end of the season.

Like many other users on RW, I appreciate some good old trolling, and hot takes (lord knows I have my moments) too. They're to be expected, and part of what makes fantasy fun, esp when you're wrong and can admit it. What ISN'T fun is when someone is completely unironically a homer/awful fantasy player, who does not follow, or understand how talent + opportunity correlates very highly to production. There are people on these forums who thump their chest and feed you GARBAGE fantasy analysis. Stuff that if you somehow took at face value, will cost you VERY close weeks, and probably a playoff spot and league. Heed the warning, and avoid people who the community actively calls out for bad and awful takes. Last post on this matter, since I'm not going to beat a dead horse. In fantasy related news, if people are wondering if I'm worried about weeks 14-16: yes, I am. The Bucs, Bears and Saints are all awful matchups for the playoffs. There is a high chance that Cousins gets ransacked by those front 7s, and throw a couple of early picks. But you will not get back anything close to value in a trade (who trades THE RB1??), and you will probably get RB2 weekly numbers as a floor, given his red zone usage and pass catching role. The threat of a 60 yard bomb to the house is ALWAYS there, so hold strong, and keep the faith... Link to post Share on other sites
Pooskay 807 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Is Cook peaking too early? Might be wise to trade him for Kamara. Please discuss. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
phegotgame14 428 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 A few years back I had to keep 2 of 3 rb for my keep league: DJ, Cook, and Connor. Kept Connor and DJ. Can pretty much guess how my team has fared since then lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I have both, I watch both week in week out. They are both incredible. They both are the center pieces of their offense (throw out yesterday's blowout for AK). But, the one thing Cook has going for him is he's the center piece in the redzone as well. He is always the first option to score. I'm happy AK finally ended the TD drought last night, but it's clear to me they have really started to use him as a decoy because defenses SELL OUT to stop this guy when they get close to the endzone. Zimmer/Kubiak think "run it again" with Dalvin. Payton thinks "run it with Latavius, Hill, pass to Thomas, Smith, Sanders, a TE, etc. etc. Maybe it changes as teams get more tape with the Saints using other options to score, but unless I'm in a full PPR league I'm probably just keeping Dalvin.

ajs723 3,444 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The problem is that I now expect 30 fantasy points per week. If he has 100 yards and a TD next week, I'm going to be disappointed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I have Kamara and I’m thinking of doing the opposite. I’d have to throw in a WR though in standard. If I own Cook, there’s no way I’m flipping him for Kamara straight up. I guess PPR might be a different story, but Cook’s ROS looks a lot better than Kamara’s. Link to post Share on other sites

ginocan 1,257 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Minny next 3 home games are cakesssssssss Dare I say, after a 2-5 start, this team have a pretty good chance of making the playoffs. Crazy to think about it. Cook would be in the MVP discussion once their record is above .500 and if he can keep up the pace. Link to post Share on other sites
