Mike Boone

The Broncos signed RB Mike Boone to a two-year contract on Wednesday. The deal includes up to $2.6 million guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

Boone was non-tendered by the Vikings and ultimately landed a two-year deal with the Broncos. He will be used on special teams and given a chance for the Broncos RB2 role. Boone logged 71 carries for 379 yards and four touchdowns across 40 career games with the Vikings.

The Vikings will not be tendering running back Mike Boone. He becomes an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign with any team when the new league year begins on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Boone, 25, spent the past three years in a depth role with the Vikings. Through 40 games (two starts), he amassed 71 carries for 379 yards and four touchdowns. Ultimately pushed to an RB3 role with Minnesota due to Alexander Mattison's presence, Boone could be a popular target in free agency for teams in search of an affordable backup option.

Vikings want to bring back Mike Boone for 2021 according to Chris Tomasson

Fantasy Impact

Boone is a restricted free agent who made $750,000 last season with the Vikings. He rushed for 59 yards on 11 attempts while scoring one touchdown. He doesn't have much fantasy appeal sitting behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison.

Mike Boone rushed once for four yards and a TD in the Vikings' 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas.

Fantasy Impact

It was an unusual score for the backup RB, who sniped a goal-line touchdown from Dalvin Cook. There's nothing to see here, as Boone is seldom used out of the backfield. He can remain on the waiver wire.

Vikings' RB Mike Boone was held to just one rushing attempt for negative one yard and hauled in his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 40-23 blowout loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Boone was the back-up to RB Alexander Mattison, who replaced injured Vikings' star RB Dalvin Cook (groin) as the starter on Sunday. Minnesota quickly fell behind in the first half as QB Kirk Cousins threw three interceptions, which resulted in the running game being game-scripted out to erase the huge deficit. With the Vikings heading into their Week 7 Bye, Boone can be dropped to waivers as Cook is expected to return in Week 8.
