Back on June 8, it was reported that Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook would not participate in any team activities until he received a new contract. Cook is in the final year of his rookie contract and the 32nd-highest-paid RB in the league ($4,932,500). He’s also the second-highest-paid RB on the Vikings behind Ameer Abdullah ($4.966,127).
In the meantime, backup second-year RB Alexander Mattison has shot up draft boards a full round. I imagine the longer this holdout goes on, the more we will see Mattison’s ADP trickle upward.
In his 2019 rookie season, given limited action, Mattison had some nice moments.
