Adrian Peterson

Yes, Jerick McKinnon is just a rookie and yes he plays the same position as Adrian Peterson, the best running back in the NFL. Even still, McKinnon looks to be a player who will contribute to the Vikings offense immediately. He was billed as a scat-back type who could contribute on 3rd downs as a receiver, and that is true, he can do that. But he has also displayed some inside running ability and the ability to perform on special teams in a variety of capacities. The Vikings found a gem in the 3rd round with McKinnon.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's not clear who the proper handcuff is for Peterson owners. Most likely, the team would committee Matt Asiata with McKinnon if something were to happen to Peterson.

After throwing three interceptions during Monday's practice, Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater was picked off twice more on Wednesday afternoon, by Mistral Raymond and Gerald Hodges. Bridgewater finished the day 12-for-17 in full-team drills, including a pass he threw away and a deep ball Adam Thielen dropped with a step on the defensive back covering him. Matt Cassel, who was again listed at the top of the Vikings' depth chart on Wednesday and appears to be solidly at the front of the Vikings' quarterback race, hit 12 of his 14 throws, with his only incompletions coming on drops from Kyle Rudolph and Matt Asiata. Christian Ponder went 6-for-8, with Shaun Prater breaking up one pass.

Running back Matt Asiata could carve out a role for himself in the Vikings' offense, especially now that Toby Gerhart is gone to Jacksonville and the Vikings need another running back who can hold up in pass protection.

Asiata ran for 115 yards in the Vikings' final game of the 2013 season and has shown some ability as a downhill runner between the tackles.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson got most of the day off, with Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon getting most of the first-team work at running back. Asiata, to me, looks quicker through the holes than he was last year, when he averaged 3.8 yards on 44 carries. He could get some carries in relief of Peterson this year, and he's big enough to be a forceful downhill runner if he can do a better job of getting through the line with some speed this season.

Fantasy Impact: 

It sounds like Asiata is the primary ballcarrier behind Peterson, with McKinnon taking on a pass-catching role. The duo would likely form a committee if something happened to Peterson.
