Dalvin Cook 2018 Outlook
All indications are that Cook will be ready to roll after his rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL. In fact, GM Rick Spielman recently suggested that Cook's rehab and recovery could lead to success similar to that of former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson when he returned to the field in 2012 following his ACL injury. "He's progressed very nicely," Spielman said of Cook. "We have no reason to believe Dalvin won't even be stronger than he was before the injury. We're very excited about getting him back on the field." The Vikings second-round pick in 2017 was injured in Week 4 and missed the remainder of the season. Before the injury, Cook demonstrated the ability to be a high-end featured back capable of handling an every-down role. His speed, vision and ability to hit the hole gave us all a taste of what's to come assuming the knee isn't an ongoing issue. While fantasy owners need to monitor his progress through August, the Vikings training staff's long history of success with ACL rehabs (which includes but also goes beyond Peterson) will certainly work in his favor. When he's healthy? Expect Cook to be among the busiest running backs in the NFL.

Dalvin Cook 2017 Outlook
According to ESPN.com, Cook will get a chance to carry the load right away, as the Vikings try to revamp their backfield after parting ways with Adrian Peterson. The Vikings, who had the league's worst running game last season, are in dire need of a playmaker, and they plan to give Cook opportunities to fill that role. As NFL.com notes, Cook has rare straight-line acceleration but also displays exceptional lateral quickness. He flashes surprising pop at the ends of runs, which allows him to pull through contact on the way to moving the chains. As a receiver, Cook is a natural pass-catcher with soft hands and polished route-running skills. He is versatile enough to create mismatches out of the backfield or out wide as a designated playmaker in the passing game. "I think he's got a chance to be special," HC Mike Zimmer said after watching Cook in OTAs. Ball security has been an issue -- one that he'll need to fix if he wants to be the Vikings' primary back ahead of Latavius Murray. How the team ultimately splits the workload is something you'll want to get a better feel for in advance of draft day.
