What It Means:

While playing 78.46% of offensive snaps, Cook received 25 touches, including 22 rushes and 5 targets out of the Minnesota backfield in Week 1. Meanwhile, Jerick McKinnon got 11 snaps as Latavius Murray played just three. According to the Star Tribune's Andrew Krammer, Shurmur would like to give Murray more work, though, so Cook could sacrifice a carry or two this week.

In his Week 2 matchup, Cook is projected for 14.1 rushes, 3.5 catches, 81.6 total yards and 0.36 touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Listed at $6,700, our models like him to produce 12.0 FanDuel points, ranking 11th of all running backs and 2nd among those below $7,000.
