Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been an absolute beast in 2019.
He’s shown that when he’s healthy, he might just be the best running back in the NFL.
In eight games, Cook has a league-leading 823 rushing yards and nine touchdowns to go with 29 catches for 293 yards.
The folks over at NFL.com put together a list of their midseason awards and Cook’s named appears more than once.
Cook received one of 26 votes for MVP, four votes for Offensive Player of the Year and two votes for Comeback Player of the Year.
Cook might not win any of these awards, but if he continues his pace, he’s going to run for more than 1,600 yards to go with 500+ receiving yards. If Cook can do that, it means the Vikings will probably be in the playoffs and Cook will land on a Pro Bowl and an All-Pro team.
The biggest factor for Cook, as it’s been during the first two years of his career, is his health.
