When we review the Vikings running back situation, it was clear last season that youngster Dalvin Cook was continuously dealing with his surgically repaired knee, leaving the output to be rather grim. In the final 5 contests of the 2018 season, Cook was able to re-establish himself as a player capable of being that 3-down back the Vikings drafted in 2017. In his absence, Latavius Murray filled in nicely over the last two years, but surely didn’t provide what was needed behind Cousins. With Murray in need of a new contract and likely heading to the open market, the Vikings will have to address the depth of this group as a high priority in the draft or free agency.
