Dalvin Cook is at his lowest salary of the year in a matchup with one of the league’s worst run defenses and is playing in a game with the second-highest total on the main slate. He has had an up-and-down year but has four games with 26+ Draftkings points and has yet to realize a potentially monster ceiling this year. Earlier this week I was focused on paying down at running back, but some late week ownership changes and extra value opening up at wide receiver have me opening my mind up to paying a little extra at running back and Cook is by far my favorite option of the running backs priced at $6,500 or more. If there is one running back I think could surprise us with a 35-point game this week, it is Cook.
The Patriots defense plays man coverage at one of the highest rates in the league and will be without multiple cornerbacks, while Tyreek Hill has been the most dominant wide receiver in the league against man coverage. Hill should have modest ownership for his slate-breaking ability due to the game’s modest point total and the absence of Tua Tagovailoa, but the Dolphins should still maintain a heavy pass rate and with their season on the line, I would expect Hill to be a dominant part of their game plan.
Permanent Price Bump coming at the end of Week 2!
Lock in the lower price for life!
