From the article

Cook is the RB4 on RB9 usage this season, averaging 101 rushing YPG (third) on RB41 receptions per game. The challenge here is the Vikings defense. They just held the Lions to 19 points on the road and are clearly one of the only truly elite defenses. Jahmyr Gibbs (RB5) and Jonathan Taylor (RB8) both held the line, while mediocre schemes/players have completely busted.

Cook's elite usage faces an elite Vikings defense that limits both run and pass.

Cook is the RB4 on RB9 usage this season, averaging 101 rushing YPG (third) on RB41 receptions per game. The Bills offense looked particularly great last week with DJ Moore stretching the field and Dalton Kincaid ripping explosives in multiple TE sets. However, the Vikings defense just held Detroit to 19 points and are one of the only truly elite defenses. Minnesota allows No. 16 rushing YPG versus No. 31 passing YPG, with opposing offenses at 45% neutral pass rate (second-lowest). Jahmyr Gibbs (RB5) and Jonathan Taylor (RB8) both held the line. Buffalo heads to Minnesota as 3.5-point road favorites with a 25-point implied team total (11th).
