Dalvin Cook Sees Minimal Role Again

Dalvin Cook Sees Minimal Role Again

one year ago

New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook once again took a clear back seat to lead back Breece Hall in the surprising Week 6 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Cook carried the ball only three times for 12 yards and caught his only target for a two-yard gain in the passing game. Hall, meanwhile, had a team-high 12 rushing attempts for 39 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 54 yards. In the last two weeks, Cook has been out-touched 42 to 10 by Hall. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much different when the Jets come out of their Week 7 bye to face the New York Giants in Week 8. Hall looks completely healthy, and Cook hasn't earned more work anyway, averaging a career-worst 2.8 yards per carry on his 39 rushing attempts (109 scoreless yards) through six games. Cook is nothing more than a handcuff for those that have Hall rostered.
