Jerick McKinnon 2017 Outlook
Midway through the 2016 season, the Vikings made an effort to get McKinnon the ball in the passing game more often. Over the final eight weeks, OC Pat Shurmur started using McKinnon out of the shotgun more often in the run game and he gained 254 yards on 62 carries over the final six games while catching 35 passes on 39 targets for 226 yards and one touchdown. The question for fantasy owners is how much the selection of Dalvin Cook in April's draft and the signing of Latavius Murray will relegate McKinnon to the bench. Of course, coaches could get creative. Remember, McKinnon lined up as a wide receiver from time to time in his first two seasons in Minnesota, but rarely went out wide or into the slot in 2016. That could change this season. Whatever the case, finding ways to get McKinnon the ball should be on the list of top off-season priorities for Shurmur. There are many different ways the Vikings can use McKinnon and we don't expect him to disappear just because they added other running backs. In fact, he might even find his most effective role yet.
Jerick McKinnon 2016 Outlook
Adrian Peterson devoured most of the workload last season, leaving few scraps for backups McKinnon and Matt Asiata. Should we expect Peterson to hog the ball again in 2016? "I think he can still handle the same role he's had," HC Mike Zimmer said. "But I do feel good about McKinnon's role and being able to take some plays off [Peterson]. ..." Peterson didn't just lead the league in carries last year, his 327 carries were 49 more than the next guy, Doug Martin. And he was the first 30-something since Thomas Jones in 2009 to get more than 300 carries in a season. McKinnon, meanwhile, is coming off a strong finish to 2015 and should be in line for a bigger role. In the Week 15 win over the Bears, he caught four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. The following week, in a runaway win over the Giants, he rushed for 89 yards and two scores. The Vikings refreshingly got creative with McKinnon, too, lining him up as a receiver and giving the dynamic athlete some carries on jet sweeps. Bottom line? We should see more of that this year.
