Asiata ran for 78 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns in Sunday's 41-28 win over Atlanta. He also caught three passes on four targets for 22 yards.
While Asiata had a great game for his owners, rookie Jerick McKinnon busted out in a big way, rushing for 135 yards on 18 carries. McKinnon is quite explosive, so it was only a matter of time before he was more involved, but Asiata has proven to be a good goal line runner in his short career.
what makes you not confident?! did you see how easily the bears ran the ball against the packers last week? and did you see how good the vikings rushing attack was last week? The only thing id be worried about is the packers getting a huge lead resulting in the vikings not handing the ball off. But asiata can still get catches

Should I start Asiata with 100% confidence week 5? Not so sure......

I'm going to roll the dice on him.. probably won't pay off though. Clay matthews is supposed to play

Not only am I starting Asiata, but strongly considering McKinnon at flex.
