I hear you on the quoting - just kidding around. Wouldn’t want to upset Chong Li anyway.
Last time he filled in for Cook he had 145 and 2 TDs. You are thinking of the time before that where the Vikings got down early and had to abandon the run. He played a lead role in 3 games last year and put up 310 yards and 2 TDs in those 3 games.
My bad - I stand corrected. Volume is king anyway and not that many guys will get that kind of volume.
Yes. They brought him up last week as well. Doesn’t mean nothing, but also doesn’t mean something.
He was, Vikings have been pushing him down to the PS, releasing him, etc. all season to manage the 53 man roster (not exactly sure how it works and what they're saving, likely not exposing a younger player to waivers cause Abdullah bypasses them they way they've been doing it), but he's been active for each of the games so far. My assumption is that the Vikings and Abdullah talked this out ahead of the season and both know what's going on in regards to the roster shenanigans.
It sounded like he was close last week so I am expecting him to play. That said I have no more information than you do.
I would like to try and buy low as well. What RB's would you move for him? Anyone outside of CMC?
I originally proposed Lockett and Higgins for DJ Moore (I have a lot of WR2s) and was just countered with Cooks and DJ Moore for Barkley, Lockett and Higgins. I have watched Barkley, and although he looks good, the OL is terrible. I am leaning towards accepting the trade, but Cook's recent ankle troubles scare me.
I think I could run for 50 and TD vs Detroit.
Damn, this sucks. I was able to trade for Mattison when Cook went out for week 3. I have been assuming I am all set for this week, just play whoever starts. But this is the worst case scenario.
Correct. I have Cook and Mattison in one league, and I think Cook should sit this week and next, and come off the bye week healthy. MIN can beat DET with Mattison carrying the load, but I can see that Cook will get half the work, MIN will likely be up, and Mattison will finish the game.
I don't have any doubt that Cook is better then Mattison. My worry is that Cook only plays part of the game. He could tweak the injury. Or they could get up on Detroit and decide not to risk him playing any more.
If he’s active I don’t really trust either him or mattison. It played out exactly how I thought last week with him going out. Maybe it’s just the browns d is really good but just sit the guy.travdogg said:
I don’t want to speculate as to what the actual incident was, but it seems pretty clear that Cook, through his agent, wants to get his version of the story out there. My guess is that this woman will say something very different.
Man I was just about to say the same thing. No idea what's what but just can't see a reason to use Shefter to make this public unless something was imminent was about to be made public.
