Worried about how Bradford's knee injury impacts Cook's value

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Worried about how Bradford's knee injury impacts Cook's value

Postby mclilj » Fri Sep 22, 2017 4:22 pm

Is anyone else concerned that if Bradford misses significant time it will impact Cook's value? If Bradford's knee is reacting this poorly to 1 football game I feel it's fair to be concerned about his ability to continue playing (which is a shame because it appears he's finally in a situation where he can have some success). Between his knee and bridgewater's theres definite concern about the long term prospects of Minnesota's qb room. Minnesota's oline is below average and I don't think that offense is going to have a ton of success without a viable passing game. Do we sell cook now when his value is at what seems to be its highest in the last several months? Or do we play it longterm and hold him despite him probably having some poor statlines in the near future?

As it pertains to my team 1 in sig, RB is obviously the strength of my team and I could live with losing 1 if it means improving at wr or getting better at qb. What kind of trade should I be looking at if I was going to move him?

The Vikings offense has been a FF black hole for a long time.

Cook will get more touches but will see stacked boxes. He's still a must start.

I wouldn't worry too much. The WRs are the ones who are going to take a big hit with Bradford's absence more than Cook. I would like to see him used more in the passing game though.

You're 2 games into Cook's career. Relax.

Cook's production may take a dip temporarily but his dynasty value should be fine. However you do need help in the WR department and you do have an excess of RBs. You should definitely look into a WR for a RB type trade.
