Vikings WR Devin Aromashodu caught six passes for 90 yards in the team's Week 13 loss to the Broncos.
Aromashodu was often in Andre' Goodman's coverage, and it became clear early in the game that the Vikings entered Week 13 planning to attack Goodman (not Champ Bailey). Thus, Aromashodu racked up a game-high 15 targets. Aromashodu's role has grown with Michael Jenkins (knee) out for the year, but he won't be a trustworthy WR3 option when the Vikings face the Lions in Week 14.

Devin Aromashodu caught just two passes for 20 yards against the Panthers in Week 8.
Aromashodu led the Vikings with six targets, but his most noteworthy play was a miscommunication with Christian Ponder on a sideline route. He's averaged just 16.5 yards per game while playing full-time snaps the past two weeks.

Devin Aromashodu led all Vikings receivers with 61 snaps played in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
Bernard Berrian was a late scratch and Percy Harvin played just 18 snaps due to sore ribs. However, Aromashodu was used primarily as a blocker and caught just one pass on five targets. He's someone to monitor rather than add, even in deep fantasy formats.

Devin Aromashodu caught just one pass for 13 yards against the Packers in Week 7.
Aromashodu started in place of Bernard Berrian and did a convincing impression of the failed deep threat. The vertical routes were there with the Packers playing single safety on early downs, but Aromashodu was unable to take advantage. He's not worthy of a roster spot until proven otherwise.

Coordinator Bill Musgrave wants to "build on" Devin Aromashodu's last two games and "keep featuring him as often as we can."
"He's given us a spark, for sure," Musgrave added. "The emergence of Devin has helped us achieve some chunks and we're always looking for chunks of yardage." Coach Leslie Frazier wanted to get Bernard Berrian more involved two weeks ago, but that was before missed meetings and a one-game benching. We could see a changing of the guard shortly.

Devin Aromashodu played 35 snaps in Week 5, more than doubling his previous season-high of 16.
Michael Jenkins led Vikings wideouts with 45 snaps played, while Percy Harvin got 40 and Greg Camarillo 6. Aromashodu played in place of Bernard Berrian, catching two passes for 81 yards. The Vikings swear they're committed to Berrian, so Aromashodu can't expect quite as much playing time going forward.

Devin Aromashodu caught two passes for 81 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
With Bernard Berrian inactive, Aromashodu acted as the primary third receiver and was targeted five times. He had a bad drop on a rare accurate throw from Donovan McNabb along the sideline, but flashed his upside with a 60-yard catch in the second half. The Vikings should consider benching Berrian permanently in favor of Aromashodu, but it's unclear if they plan to do so.

Devin Aromashodu caught a 34-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but was targeted just one other time in the game.
"We didn't have another situation where we could get (the ball) to him," coach Leslie Frazier said when asked why Aromashodu wasn't more involved. The easy answer is to bench Bernard Berrian and get Aromashodu full-time snaps. Until that happens, there's no upside here.

Devin Aromashodu's 34-yard touchdown catch in Week 4 was Donovan McNabb's longest completion to a wide receiver so far this season.
Aromashodu made an outstanding grab, laying out his full body to dive for the score in the back left corner of the end zone. Unfortunately, the Vikings continue to use Bernard Berrian as a near full-time player with Aromashodu only coming in for special packages. Aromashodu is the better receiver; the Vikes' coaching staff just refuses to acknowledge it.
