Fantasy football nerds, take note … Dalvin Cook tells TMZ Sports he’s gunning for a MONSTER season in 2020!!!
“2,000 yards!” the Minnesota Vikings superstar told us out in NYC on Wednesday. “We could go like a 1,500 [rushing] and a 500 [receiving]. 1,500, 500. Or, 1,400, 600!”
Of course, Cook was awfully close to those numbers last season … rushing for 1,135 yards and adding 519 more receiving — and he did all of that in just 14 games.
15 👏 TDs 👏

But, Dalvin (and his pals who were with him on an NYC shopping trip this week) tells us he’s living in the gym this off-season to try to top those numbers.
FYI, 2,000 all-purpose yards is a pretty insane number for backs … only 3 dudes have done it the last two years — Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley.
Yeah … elite list, huh???
By the way, we also asked Dalvin if he was considering a contract holdout given the fact that this year is the final one on his rookie deal — but watch the clip, it doesn’t seem he’s going to press the Vikes like that just yet.
