Vikings running back Mike Boone made Pro Football Focus’ Week 17 Team of the Week after rushing for 148 yards on 17 carries to go with a touchdown. He also had two catches for 12 yards.
Here’s what PFF wrote about Boone:
With Dalvin Cook out, Boone stepped up to the plate and got the job done in Week 17 for the Vikings run game. In addition to being the highest-graded back of the week, Boone was also the only one to have multiple rushes of 40 or more yards.
Boone was the only Viking to make the team. In relief duty of Cook and Alexander Mattison, Boone certainly looked like he deserves a spot in a running back rotation. Will that be the Vikings in 2020? We’ll see. Boone is under contract, but with Cook and Mattison ahead of him on the depth chart, those opportunitues will be limited.
