Gepetto 982 Posted November 29, 2021 Cook twisted awkwardly and fumbled while being tackled. Screamed in pain, grabbed toward his left upper chest area. All players on field taking a knee. Carted off field. Shoulder injury - per NFL Redzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted November 29, 2021 hope he's ok. As for FFL, I have him in one league and Mattison backing him up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,457 Posted November 29, 2021 Darn it, and Mccaffery on another team was in a boot. Life as a ff owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted November 29, 2021 Almost like deja vu... "2.08 Dalvin Cook Æ™ Rating: Overrated With a 17 game season this year, Cook owners will be without him for an extra week, once he makes his perennial early exit, stiffing his owners for their playoff run. For as long as he's healthy, he's an advantage--but you can't count on him to be around at the end of the year." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrbdmb 28 Posted November 29, 2021 I'd almost rather he get it fixed now and end his season, so I don't have to hold onto him another 5 weeks just to make he doesn't score 20 against me in the fantasy playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makindollaz 40 Posted November 29, 2021 Fortunately hand-cuffed Mattison in the one $ league I have Cook. So with the CMC news, would folks rather have Hubbard or Mattison? In the games I’ve used Mattison there hasn’t been that much drop off from Cook honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted November 30, 2021 So now it's not a tear/separation and he's only day-to-day, per the Vikings coach? How could the initial diagnosis be so far off? I know my reaction to seeing the play was that it looked like nothing. Why is there so much weirdness surrounding Cook this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 982 Posted November 30, 2021 A labrum tear means you can't lift your arm above your head such as lifting a non-automatic garage door. I don't really see if affecting him once the swelling goes down. Baker Mayfield dislocated his shoulder and has a completely torn labrum and missed one game.

AxeElf 787 Posted November 30, 2021 In Cook's case, it's not a labrum tear; it's a labium tear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Law 220 Posted December 9, 2021 When will Zimmer be fired? In year 8 with 3 good seasons on his record and an endless barrage of poor decisions and reckless team management. And yes, it's reckless to have Cook come back from a dislocated shoulder this quickly. Cook has proven to be injury-prone. You have a great backup (who is the organization is not as heavily invested in). Play him. And yes, I have Mattison, but I have other players I can use. The point is this is irresponsible.

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted December 9, 2021 Not sure this is good news for people owning Cook & Mattison, at least not for this week. I’d rather Mattison get the full workload instead of starting Cooks and he gets pulled early. It’s good news for Cook owners next week and beyond at least, as long as he doesn’t aggravate the injury this week. Hope he sits this one out and is back next Sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted December 9, 2021 I don't believe Cook was really injured. That was my reaction when I saw the play originally, and that's what I think even more so now that he's returning from an allegedly separated shoulder after missing 1 week. Who knows what's going on with this guy mentally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my reaction when I saw the play originally, and that's what I think even more so now that he's returning from an allegedly separated shoulder after missing 1 week. Who knows what's going on with this guy mentally. I think he was injured, but I suspect the team exaggerated the severity to gain an advantage (as is the way with most players on the injury list) As a fantasy owner, if hes not right mentally, and it results in the 205 yards rushing and 2 TDs on 27 carries I'm honestly ok with it. but seriously I have found often when a player gets hurt, its not always the play you think it is that caused the injury. sometimes it happend a few plays earlier and then the player starts to feel it a few minutes after and realizes they better take themselves out. hard to say for sure. Either way, Cook put up a Monster game. I started him in one of my leagues and I'm not complaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
