Dalvin Cook could take off in Vikings' revamped offense in 2019

After a torn ACL ended Dalvin Cook’s first season in the NFL and hamstring injuries cost him the better part of six games in 2018, it’s reasonable to expect a healthy Cook can surpass his career numbers in one season next year.

In just 15 games and 14 starts through his first two NFL seasons, Cook has produced a tantalizing taste of just how dynamic he could be with an injury-free season. He’s carried a modest 207 times in his career, posting 969 yards on those attempts, and caught 51 passes for 395 yards. It adds up to 1,364 yards from scrimmage, along with six touchdowns, in Cook’s first two NFL seasons, and the Vikings are likely banking on him being able to do even more in 2019.
