The Minnesota Vikings have a glaring hole in their offense with the loss of Dalvin Cook. Cook brought stability to the Minnesota running game since being drafted in 2017. From a statistical standpoint, Cook is easily a top-five running back in team history with an argument for top-three.
However, we saw a bit of a decline in Dalvin Cook’s production last season. That lack of production, mixed with the Vikings looking toward the future, made for a perfect storm that left Cook to be the odd man out.
What are the Vikings to do after losing their bell cow back? That production gave stability to the running game for six years.
There are four reasons Vikings fans not to fret about the loss of Cook and why the Vikings’ offense will be fine going into 2023.
