Giants WR Isaiah Hodgins (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday’s Wild Card game vs the Vikings. Hodgins was added to the injury report Saturday but has no game designation. While he’s expected to play, it’s possible Hodgins won’t see his regular snaps and he’ll be at risk of an in-game setback.
Minnesota Vikings DFS Spin
Dalvin Cook had 11 rushes for 37 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Bears. Cook was typically ineffective before injuring his knee and taking a seat for the game’s final two and a half quarters. Cook’s practice participation will be worth monitoring this week as the Vikings prepare for the postseason. Alexander Mattison would take over as the team’s primary back if Cook misses time.
