Yeah he just isn’t doing much in the passing game, and hard to blame them with the weapons they have. I do like his playoff schedule. His next two are at home in games they should be playing with a lead. 
 

As frustrating as Cook has been, he is still like 10th in scoring for RB’s. Could be much worst.

I haven’t paid a lot of attention to Minnesota, but whenever I watch them their oline gets little to no push. Hopefully they can get better. Cook is a speed guy and should do well at home in the dome.

I don't feel like he has quite the same juice anymore, but he definitely put a move on the defender he scored on today. Even though I don't think he's quite as electric as he once was, I do think most of the struggles can be put on the OLine. 

As you mentioned, pretty favorable schedule, it's still a good to very good offense, and he's still a bellcow.

Agreed, he is not quite as electric as he once was, but he isn’t a young RB anymore. In the next couple years he will be approaching that “DND too many miles” status. 
 

But yes, he has a favorable schedule. Plays in a great offense. And gets a majority of the work. A lot to like here.

Interesting how there seems to be much negative sentiment around Cook, despite him having 1,310 total yards, 10 TDs, and 33 catches so far.

He had a crazy difficult schedule for RBs weeks 9-14. Three of those weeks were pretty bad for fantasy points, which is when I think many people became frustrated. 

Certainly a good case study for how we feel about RBs who put up decent points most weeks but don't have a ton of explosive games vs. guys who have more upside for huge numbers in any given week.

Of course their is negative sentiment. Most the Cook teams arent doing well. Go look at the FFPC advance data stats or underdog bestball his advance rate with 100k+ teams of data his advance rate is awful this season. 

My FFPC Cook team lost in the league title game last week. Winner gets 2k and punches a ticket into the 15-17 superplayoff for 500k for first 150k 2nd loser gets 500. My 1st round pick gets 9.6 I lost 2ish points.

For those to lazy to find it there is his advance rates on underdog BBmania 3 the biggest data set you will find. Playoffs started this week on there similar to home leagues. 

As you can see the only pick in the area who was more negative this season was Najee. Guys like Diggs,Adams,Kelce,Henry were way more valuable to winning its not even close. Again its not about Cook vs the field of players its about Cook vs the other guys you could of drafted. Great he had a 30 pointer as many teams in the big money contest are out but other guys did that all year.

TBH I hope he rips it ROS and is in the first round again.

This week v Indy was a fluke. Glad he did it but fact is this is not what he does regularly anymore. He used to - doesn't now. 

I'm quite happy with his output today - who wouldn't be. Fact is this game is an anomaly. Roto football doesn't exist.

I don't need advanced newfangled stats to tell me this guy is on his last legs.

He wasn't a top 12 RB. Guy has screwed me more than helped but wouldn't it be ironic if he carries those who squeezed into playoffs despite him to championships. Next 3 weeks 3 green matchups. First 14 weeks 2 green matchups. He has had a brutally hard schedule.
