6. Latavius Murray (2017–2018)
- 2 seasons
- 14 touchdowns
- 1,420 yards
- 4.0 yards/att
In order for Latavius Murray to land on this ranking, the limit for inclusion of games started was set at 55 percent to accommodate his 17 starts in 32 games with the Vikings. A 6th-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders from Central Florida in 2013, Murray missed the entire season after being placed on injured reserve before the start of the season. He became the featured back in 2015 starting all 16 games for the Raiders. In his brief two-year stint with the Vikings, he climbed all the way to 23rd on the Vikings career rushing leaders.
5. Moe Williams (1996–2000 and 2002–2005)
- 9 seasons
- 25 touchdowns
- 1,535 yards
- 4.2 yards/att
Selected by the Vikings in the third round of the 1996 draft, Moe Williams started his first stint with the team as a backup to Robert Smith. After a year with the Baltimore Ravens, he returned to back up Michael Bennett from 2002 to 2004. His best season came in 2003 when he started a career-high seven games rushing for 745 yards and rushed for five touchdowns and caught another three touchdown passes. Perhaps his most memorable touchdown came in Week 7 that year when he scored to end the first half against the Broncos on a lateral from Randy Moss.
His longevity with the Vikings helped Williams to make the list. In 132 games he only started 12 over nine seasons in Minnesota. He sits 21st on the Vikings career rushing list sandwiched between Leroy Hoard at 20 and Rick Fenney at 21.
