Vikings running back Dalvin Cook finished No. 10 in the NFL for rushing yards last season, and he played in just 14 games.
Heading into next season, BetOnline.ag has given Cook, and the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott, the fourth best odds to win the rushing title at 10/1, per The Athletic’s Chad Graff.
Returning rushing champion Derrick Henry of the Titans has the best odds at 6/1. Besides Henry, the running backs with better odds than Cook are the Panthers’ Christian McCaffrey, and the Browns’ Nick Chubb.
Cook isn’t the only Vikings player who received decent odds to take home a big end-of-season award.
Defensive end Danielle Hunter was given 25/1 odds to win Defensive Player of the Year. He and Myles Garrett have the 12th best odds of winning.

Aaron Donald, who earned the award in 2017 and 2018, is the odds-on favorite to win it in 2020. Notably, Stephon Gilmore, who won the award last season, is just sixth in terms of odds to win this time.
