Those who have Dalvin Cook on their fantasy football teams rejoiced on Sunday afternoon.
While the Vikings lost 31-30 in a heartbreaker against the Titans, Cook ran for a career-high 181 yards to go with a touchdown.

To put that into perspective, Cook had just 113 rushing yards in his first two games this season.
Cook’s previous career-high for rushing yards in a game was in Week 2 last season against the Packers when he ran for 154 yards. That also came in a loss.
It was Cooks’ eighth career 100-yard game.
Cook’s next opportunity will be against the Texans in Week 4 in Houston. The Texans just allowed 109 rushing yards to James Conner, so it seems as if there will be an opportunity for Cook to have back-to-back big games.
