Minnesota Vikings - Fantasy News
Though listed as questionable for Week 9, Cook is tentatively expected to return from a four-game absence. Even if that's the case, it sounds like Murray would still be a clear favorite to lead the Minnesota backfield in snaps and touches. While the possibility of a workload split necessitates a significant downgrade to Murray's prospects this week, he at least draws a first-rate matchup versus a Lions defense ranked 30th in yards allowed per carry (5.1) and 32nd in rushing yards allowed per game (144.6) this season. Averaging 20 touches, 112 scrimmage yards and 1.3 touchdowns the past three weeks, Murray will have a solid case for low-end RB1 status if Cook ends up being held out for another game.
