Running Back: Tarik Cohen, Chicago Bears

@San Francisco 49ers, Sunday 4:05pm

FanDuel Cost: $6,900

Tarik Cohen is one of the more entertaining players in the NFL. He’s an explosive athlete who can start and stop at a moments notice. This allows him to find and hit holes that most other players can’t.

The Chicago Bears have made Cohen a featured part of their offense getting him touches in variety of ways. His usage in the red zone has been a bit of a surprise and really increases his fantasy value.

Cohen is a bargain at this price in daily fantasy leagues.

Running Back: Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings

@ Detroit Lions, Sunday 1:00pm

FanDuel Cost: $7,100

It’s been a frustrating year for Dalvin Cook as he worked his way back from last year’s knee injury. His season has been hampered by several nagging injuries that kept him from finding his stride. However, his performance last week shows that he might be peeking at the right time.

Cook looked explosive and was able to move the chains against the Miami Dolphins. This week the Minnesota Vikings face a tougher task with the Detroit Lions defense. However, Cook has the type of upside to overcome a tough matchup.
