Jerick McKinnon Thread

[joeday]

Whoops. Asiata has. Guess I should have clarified since he's not listed in the thread title. Can't you read my mind?

Ya know, I shoulda known...for some reason I forgot he was featured for 3 games...Week 17 last year he actually showed well (other than a fumble) from the looks of the stats.

[Telperion]

I made a bad waiver call and dropped McKinnon for Davante Adams (could have dropped L Murray), then the Peterson news came out that he's indefinitely out. Now I'm going to have to bid to get him back. Ugh.

[Cult of Dionysus]

Should I drop DaRick Rogers for McKinnon?

[Cutlip9]

Rogers is getting no love in Indy and has falling behind Moncrief. He may get a chance next
year if Nicks moves on, but I would cut bait. McKinnon has better oppotunity without the
red flags

I wish I had that easy of a choice. (Yes, drop Rogers)

I traded a 2nd, a 3rd, and James White for McKinnon

And better yet, it's the guys in front of him that have red flags (AP).

No, that would be a good waiver claim, Davante Adams should not be in the wire. I would prefer McKinnon over Murray slightly but either way, you still won by getting Adams.

To the guy above, McKinnon over Da'Rick for sure.

Right, getting Adams was the right move, but I dropped the wrong guy for him. In my league a lot of young guys are sitting on the wire, people are holding onto 0 upside vets at the end of their bench, so it's a matter of which young guys to prioritize.

Moncrief, Mason, Sims, ASJ, etc are all available.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities says Jerick McKinnon "should definitely be more of a factor starting Sunday."

Advice: Anyone who has seen Matt Asiata stagger his way to a career 3.56 YPC knows this should be the case. The question is if the Vikings see it. Perhaps now that the coaches have a full week of preparation without Adrian Peterson, they'll install the freaky McKinnon as a major part of the gameplan. He's not startable yet in fantasy, but he's a must hold. If the Vikings want to move the football on the ground, McKinnon is their best bet.

Your dancing confuses me? lol Are you happy because he may touch the ball more and try to improve on his 2.67 YPC average, which is 0.40 less than Asiata's sad average haha.

Get ready for the Gurley show in the twin cities in 2015 if AP isnt back! haha

That's an extremely small sample space for the 2.67 YPC.

[REPTAR]

Dude has had 3 regular season carries - c'mon man, get that YPC business outta here!

[WindyCityFlyer]

Yea haha, very small sample.

But I could easily see the Vikes try to maintain the RB production AP gave by drafting a stud next year...3rd rounder McKinnon be damned.

Which would suck.

For me.

lol it was hyberbole. I'm just saying I really don't consider him overly special. I probably wont play either of them this week if I can help it...just to see how it all works out.
