From the video

James Cook, difficult matchup against the Vikings. I think they can use him in some interesting ways in the passing game if they want to help alleviate the blitz. James Cook is a good running back. You're not benching James Cook.

Tough Vikings matchup but don't bench Cook; passing-game usage available

Faces difficult matchup against Vikings in Week 9; the source notes he is a good running back who can be used in interesting ways in the passing game to help alleviate blitz, and should not be benched despite the matchup.
