Studs
This is an important game for the Vikings. They’re currently sitting at just 6-7, but they could grab the final wild card spot in the NFC playoff picture with a win over the Bears. They’re currently listed as 6.5-point road favorites over the Bears, so they are expected to secure the win.
Dalvin Cook is the most expensive player on this slate, and he was questionable heading into last week’s game. That didn’t stop him from racking up 27 carries, which he turned into 205 yards and two touchdowns. Cook ultimately finished with 38.2 DraftKings points, which was his top performance of the year.
Cook figures to be busy again on Monday. Backup RB Alexander Mattison was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, so he will miss tonight’s contest. He typically sees a handful of carries each week, and those could go to Cook instead.
