He would have $5.05 million of his contract guaranteed on Friday. Za’Darius Smith is on the books for a base salary of $9.45 million with a cap number of $15.49 million. He has $1.25 million of his contract in line to become guaranteed Friday, so a move likely would need to be made by then on whether to sign him to a restructured contract or release him. Harrison Smith is on the books for a base salary of $14.7 million and a cap number of $19.127 million. If Cook were to return to the Vikings, they would be committing a great deal of money at running back. In order to sign Mattison, Murphy, Davenport and Oliver, the Vikings likely will need to address what to do with high-priced veterans in Cook, safety Harrison Smith and edge rusher Za’Darius Smith. It’s believed to be a similar situation involving Willekes.

A source said Ellefson was not given a restricted free agent tender, so he signed for a salary likely well under the minimum tender amount of $2,627. The Vikings also announced that they have re-signed restricted free agents Ben Ellefson, a tight end, and Kenny Willekes, a defensive lineman. All those free-agent deals previously had been reported, and Minnesota now must fit those players under the cap. The Vikings announced Wednesday they have agreed to terms with cornerback Byron Murphy, edge rusher Marcus Davenport and tight end Josh Oliver, but they haven’t officially signed. The Vikings were able to become cap compliant after restructuring quarterback Kirk Cousins’ contract Tuesday to save $16 million. “I don’t know anything about any of that,” Mattison said when asked if Cook will return.Īll NFL teams had to be under the salary-cap number of $224.8 million by 3 p.m. But it remains to be seen whether he would continue to play under his current contract, would accept a pay cut or could be traded.

It includes $6.35 million of guaranteed money. Mattison told the Pioneer Press he will sign a two-year, $7 million contract that could be worth as much as $8 million with incentives. But he is more than likely already rostered.Johnson and Patrick are worth fliers on such a good rushing offense, but their workload could be slim.The Vikings on Wednesday night agreed to re-sign running back Alexander Mattison, putting the future of Dalvin Cook even more in question. Trey Sermon should get the start, and if he happens to be available, grab him. The 49ers backfield is crazy and tough to decipher. He’s worth a pickup for the future, but also has some value Sunday afternoon. This isn’t a great matchup but Carter looked good last week and is someone who has a chance to continue getting more work as we move forward. He’s a good PPR start if you need the help. Gainwell has shown that he deserves the job behind Miles Sanders and this game could have the Eagles trailing and getting Gainwell work through the air. In one-point PPR leagues he could have some value. His backup will be Jake Funk, who could get work in the receiving game. He looked good in limited work last week and should see plenty of touches. Michel should get the start and be the top pick if he’s available. Mattison makes for a good replacement to Cook in fantasy football, but if you couldn’t grab him, there are a few backs in the later games worth grabbing in a pinch.
They’ll face the Seattle Seahawks in what should be a high scoring game with Alexander Mattison taking over the bulk of Cook’s touches. The Minnesota Vikings will reportedly be without Dalvin Cook this week due to an ankle injury.
