9. Dalvin Cook, running back
It took a while for Dalvin Cook to get healthy, but he finally did. Five games into the 2019 regular season, Minnesota seems to finally have the version of Cook they’ve been hoping for since they took him in the second round (41st overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
He appears to be healthy, but if he isn’t, we at least know that he’s healing just fine. It’s starting to look like the guy who ran wild all over Tallahassee and every other campus the Florida State Seminoles found their way to.
This season, Cook’s racked up 542 rushing yards on 92 rushing attempts, and he’s reached the end zone five times. If the Eagles limit him, they stand a good chance of winning their third straight game of 2019’s season.
10. Kirk Cousins, quarterback
As much as the Vikings would like to take the air out of the ball and limit Kirk Cousins’ participation in anything important, the truth is, if this team is going to win with any regularity and if this team is going to win anything important, eventually Cousins will have to prove that he can beat somebody with his arm.
Now, we know he hasn’t done that. We know the majority of his high points have com with Kyle Shanahan‘s assistance or when he’s played inferior competition, but we also know this. If Cousins doesn’t know how to do anything else, he knows how to shred the Eagles’ defense. Eagles fans should all hope that they aren’t in for a repeat performance on Sunday.
