Dalvin Cook (ankle) "unlikely" to play in Vikings' Week 3 contest

The Minnesota Vikings believe it is "unlikely" that running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) plays in the team's Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

What It Means:

Cook played through the injury in the team's close Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but was repeatedly seen leaving the field to get his ankle looked at during that contest. While there was optimism regarding his availability for the team's Week 3 matchup earlier in the week, it sounds like the team will now opt for a more cautious approach with their star.

Alexander Mattison should step in as the next man up without Cook. The Seahawks have technically allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs so far this season with 37.5, though they fell victim to Derrick Henry in Week 2. FanDuel has set Mattison's salary at $5,200.
