Christian McCaffrey (RB1) -- Even in returning from a six-week absence at 3-5, McCaffrey handled 18-of-19 backfield carries (including 100% of the team's carries inside the five) and 10-of-16 running back targets before re-injuring himself in the fourth quarter. Any discussion of a committee from Carolina's coaching staff can be ignored.
Dalvin Cook (RB2) -- Cook averaged 28 touches, handling 220-of-250 backfield carries, across his last nine starts. Minnesota's third-highest run play rate from neutral game script isn't expected to change since Gary Kubiak simply passed the keys to his son Klint Kubiak on the way out (lol).
