Start ‘Em #1
Man, who would have thought Jerick McKinnon would be having the impact that he is in fantasy football?
Since Adrian Peterson‘s absence, McKinnon has since beat out teammate Matt Asiata for the starting job in Minnesota, and is really producing for the Vikings.
McKinnon will likely have his best game to date, and will probably break 20 carries for the first time this season.
In Week 7 against the Bills, McKinnon rushed for 103 yards, breaking the century mark for the second time so far this season, and is really taking a hold of the Vikings running game.
The Vikings head to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers who rank 28th in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs. McKinnon will likely have his best game to date, and will probably break 20 carries for the first time this season.
He is a clear start unless you have a couple of must-start studs in front of him on your fantasy depth chart.
Consider him a solid #2 RB for Week 8 in Tampa.
