Vikings Beat: RB Jerick McKinnon 'should be more of a factor' starting in Week 3

Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon, a third-round pick last May, is 5-foot-9, 208-pounds and can be used in the running and the passing game. He had two rushing attempts for 7 yards and two catches for 5 yards last Sunday.

He wasn't really part of the game plan and that was understandable. Turner likely spent last week working the running portion of the plan around Peterson before the back was indicted on Thursday and had to leave the team. Peterson was then inactive against the Patriots.

McKinnon is a fluid receiver and appears to have playmaking ability. He definitely should be more of a factor starting Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: 

McKinnon is an athletic freak whom the Vikings drafted in the 3rd round to ultimately become the change of pace to Adrian Peterson (and possibly his successor). His ability is on display in this highlight video, especially during the run at the 2:00 mark. Matt Asiata is the RB1 for now, but it's not clear how long the team will live with his pedestrian 3.6 YPC. McKinnon has more upside.

Panthers place DE Greg Hardy on exempt/commissioner's permission list

The Panthers followed the Vikings lead and placed DE Greg Hardy on the exempt/commissioner's permission list, which means he'll have to stay away from the team indefinitely. Unlike Adrian Peterson, Hardy has already been convicted of domestic assault.

Fantasy Impact: 

This is a blow to the Carolina defense, but they played just fine without Hardy against the Lions, and have posted the 3rd-most fantasy points thus far.

Schefter: Vikings intend to eventually bring Adrian Peterson back

Adam Schefter: "Whether Adrian Peterson plays again this year will depend on when legal case is resolved. But Vikings intend to bring him back, per sources."

Fantasy Impact: 

The big question here is how quickly Peterson's case progresses through the Texas judicial system. His first hearing is not until Oct. 8, so he's unlikely to play again this season if it goes to trial. But he's a first time offender, so a quick plea deal may allow him to rejoin the team later on in the season, assuming he's able to avoid jail time. There's also the matter of a potential suspension from the NFL. There are a lot of moving parts here so owners may want to wait a week or two to see how things develop before dropping Peterson.

Vikings suspend Adrian Peterson indefinitely

The Vikings have placed Adrian Peterson on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission List, "which will require that Adrian remain away from all team activities while allowing him to take care of his personal situation until the legal proceedings are resolved."

Fantasy Impact: 

The team was under pressure from political and business leaders to suspend Peterson after its decision to activate him for Week 3. It looks like he will be away from the team until his legal issues are resolved. We don't expect him to play again for the Vikings this season. Matt Asiata is the clear RB1, though the team may try to get Jerick McKinnon more involved as the season progresses. Asiata out-touched McKinnon 18 to 4 in Week 2. We were expecting more rushes from Cordarrelle Patterson in Week 2, but that didn't transpire. Asiata is the player to target on waivers if he is still available. In deeper leagues, McKinnon is worth a stash as he is the more explosive player.
