No. 1: C.J. Ham

What will the Vikings do with C.J. Ham? Will Minnesota be interested in actually utilizing a fullback more frequently? Or will the Vikings try to use him in some other role within their offense? Or will Minnesota eventually move on from their fullback?

Ham might not be a great fit with what Kevin O’Connell has done with his offense in recent seasons, but if anyone could be innovative to figure out how to use a fullback, maybe it’s him.

Ham had just seven carries and 17 receptions last season, but given his position, there are a number of things that he brings to the table that won’t show up in stat sheets. It’s hard to guess what all Ham might bring to the table in O’Connell’s offense, assuming the Vikings decide to hold on to him that is.
