Players to Sell

Dalvin Cook (RB – MIN)

Dalvin Cook finally didn’t get vultured at the goal line! The Vikings RB compiled 20 touches for 96 yards including 2 rushing TDs! But all that glitters is not gold. Alexander Mattison was the more involved receiver (four vs 2 targets) ran as many routes and totaled 12 touches of his own. Cook played just 57% of the snaps while Mattison played 43%. It’s a two-back system that we have not ever seen with Cook at any point this season, so it suggests a more committee approach might be brewing in the Vikings backfield. Considering Cook’s long injury history, this is the perfect time to sell high.

Aaron Jones (RB – GB)

Aaron Jones (13 carries, 3 targets, 73% snap share) dominated the backfield over A.J. Dillon (6 carries, no targets, 32% snap share). Positive game script provided no favors for either Packers RB. This Packers offense is showing it might not be good enough to support two RBs that constantly split touches. I doubt Dillon’s snaps stay this low for a second straight week based on the near 50/50 split usage these two backs have seen all year, making Jones a player I am happy to move off from.

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)

Najee Harris reached just 11 carries for 20 yards. Four targets on 52 attempts from Kenny Pickett. No. 2 RB Jaylen Warren had more targets (5), ran more routes and compiled more yards from scrimmage (63 versus 36). Now he did see a solid chunk of playing time in garbage time, but Harris’ every-down role from 2021 is long gone. He’s a TD-dependent RB that plays on a bad offense. You need to pivot. Buccaneers up next.
