7 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon will again take on a complementary role behind Latavius Murray this Sunday against the Saints. McKinnon has seen a slow decrease in touches over the last month but should still see seven to 10 touches in the game. The Saints defense allowed the 17th most fantasy points to running backs this season but were burned deep by Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey in the NFC Wild-Card round last week. Before that, the Saints hadn't allowed more than 54 receiving yards in a game to an opposing back since Week 3. McKinnon will be an asset but not the focal point and lacks fantasy appeal this weekend.--Joey C - RotoBaller
