Dalvin Cook

Cook got off to a hot start during his rookie year, earning a starting role right away and gaining 354 yards on the ground and scoring 2 rushing touchdowns in his first four games while adding 11 catches for 90 yards.

If he hadn’t experienced a devastating knee injury during that fourth game against the Detroit Lions, he could have been on track to make the Pro Bowl during the 2017 season, but instead, he was put on the shelf for the remainder of the season.

With a long time available for rehabilitation and another opportunity to show off his skills, Cook will likely be able to pick back up where he left off before the injury and prove that he is a Pro Bowl caliber player.

Considering how high-profile a position like running back is, Cook will need to make some big plays and be a part of numerous highlights while making big fantasy football numbers, but that’s not something that he isn’t capable of doing this year.
