Dalvin Cook (Minnesota Vikings) vs. Carolina Panthers
Sunday, 1:00 pm EST | Watch: FOX
US Bank Stadium – Minneapolis, MN
Prop Bets Watch:
The Panthers’ run-defense ranks 25th DVOA and second-worst in yards allowed after contact. It’s also worth noting that Carolina has allowed five different RBs to rush for 80+ yards against them, with three of them going for 100+. Not a great start to this discussion, considering Cook will be the one running the football at them this Sunday.

Cook has a total of 66 touches over the last two weeks and no one has seen more carries inside the five-yard line this season- that, despite missing a game. It’s no surprise to anyone that Cook has already exceeded the 1,000-yard mark with six games to go.
If you’re a DFS player, you’ll know that his $11,000 price tag comes with damn-good reasoning.
Damien Harris (New England Patriots) vs. Arizona Cardinals
Sunday, 1:00 pm EST | Watch: FOX
Gillette Stadium – Foxborough, MA
Prop Bets Watch:
Harris was kind of stuck in the mud last week, only rushing for 43 yards in a smash spot against the Houston Texans. This time around, though, should be a little different.
The Cardinals are allowing the fifth-most yards per carry (4.6) this season and will be making the cross-country trip to play in the early window on Sunday. Not to mention, it’s Thanksgiving week, which means that the bellies may be a little more full than usual for a team making a big trip like that. It would behoove the Patriots to take advantage of this situation.
Harris does have three 100-yard games already for the Patriots this season, and two of them in the last four games. With Rex Burkhead out of the mix and Sony Michel useless, this is a nice spot for Harris to assert his dominance.
