Running Backs

  • Dalvin Cook
  • Alexander Mattison
  • Ameer Abdullah
  • Michael Boone
  • CJ Ham

Dalvin Cook has had an injury-riddled first couple of years in the NFL. He will look to finally stay healthy and live up to the hype that surrounded him as a draft prospect in 2019. Mattison is a third-round pick who has been very impressive in the preseason and will get plenty of carries as a rookie. Abdullah is a versatile receiving back that is also a good kick returner while Boone is probably the most powerful back of the group. Ham will fill the fullback role for the Vikings.

Player to watch: De’Angelo Henderson
