While Asiata will likely start at running back Sunday against the Saints, offensive coordinator Norv Turner says he'll stick with the hot hand between Asiata and Jerick McKinnon, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Asiata started at running back last week with Adrian Peterson deactivated and got the bulk of playing time (47 snaps to McKinnon's 23 snaps). However, with more advanced notice that Peterson will be out this week and likely most of the season, the Vikings may move to a committee system at running back or at least give McKinnon a larger role.
I just want to get this right. I want to be sure i get this right. In the end, its all about getting it right and the main thing is, trying to get this right. I Know that in the end if i do the right thing, everything will fall in place for your team. My focus today, is to get this right. I need to get this right. I wanna support your fantasy team, and wanna make sure that i get this right. I constantly strive as an adviser to do the right thing. Im just trying to do the right thing. and get it right.
It's tough to bench Ball due to potential, but I'd have a tough time going with any RB against Seattle at home. Especially after losing to the Chargers the prior week. Asiata is the play here out of those two... this week.
Without Adrian Peterson the Vikings are hurting, hence the temporary decision to start Peterson earlier this week before changing course once again. None of the role players for the Vikings are guaranteed fantasy producers right now until we see how things shake out in reality.
Norv Turner has a unique way of taking nobody and turning them into somebody. Just gotta see which nobody becomes somebody the next few weeks.

SharkSat 9/20/14 10:50 AM
Asiata or Rashad Jennings???
dmichel12Sat 9/20/14 10:59 AM
I'd say asiata, he played a good games last game, and he is playing a defense with a horrible run defense. Start asiata.
SharkSun 9/21/14 10:28 AM
That's how my lineup is now....Jennings will break out, just don't think it's this week...
dmichel12Sun 9/21/14 1:08 PM

did you get it right?
mattmundleSun 9/21/14 10:22 AM
we'll see this afternoon
parkerj98Fri 9/19/14 7:45 PM
Asiata or james jones, Pierre garçon, victor Cruz? Pick 2 wr and 1 flex in ppr league.
R_WillyFri 9/19/14 5:51 PM
Asiata or K. Robinson??
KaduncFri 9/19/14 5:52 PM
Asiata may get more touches but I'd go Robinson. I see this as a NO beatdown in the super dome. Forcing Minn to air it out in the second half
kevinW13Fri 9/19/14 3:43 PM
In the flex asiata or kendall wright
JesusucioFri 9/19/14 3:23 PM
Asiata sucks bawls... Guaranteed "L" this week if you start him.
KaduncFri 9/19/14 5:51 PM
Depends on how deep your bench is and how many teams are in your league. Some people may have to play him. And he is guranteed to get touches.
66caddyFri 9/19/14 2:11 PM
who should i play brady or cutler? can anyone help
KaduncFri 9/19/14 5:54 PM
I'd go Cutler. Brady has the better matchup, but I see them getting up big on the Raiders at home and riding Ridley to victory much like last week
KaduncFri 9/19/14 5:54 PM
Plus Jeffrey and Marshall have had another week to heal up.
airbeselerFri 9/19/14 1:32 PM
Do I start Asiata or Lacy this weekend?
KaduncFri 9/19/14 5:49 PM
Is this really a question? I'm assuming you drafted Lacy in the first round? So yeah play him. Asiata is a backup talent for a reason.
jfay79Fri 9/19/14 12:25 PM
Should i drop asiata or rainey to pickup moreno?
mattmundleFri 9/19/14 12:35 PM
rainey, asiata is a guaranteed starater......
dropdeaddizzyThu 9/18/14 1:58 PM
asiata or monte ball
helfer2011Thu 9/18/14 2:28 PM
asiata
PeckxThu 9/18/14 4:10 PM
Ball
dropdeaddizzyThu 9/18/14 4:29 PM
ball is playing seahawks...where asiata is playing the saints
RP65Thu 9/18/14 5:37 PM
It's tough to bench Ball due to potential, but I'd have a tough time going with any RB against Seattle at home. Especially after losing to the Chargers the prior week. Asiata is the play here out of those two... this week.
ZaperoThu 9/18/14 7:39 PM
Asiata or Ridley?
JKDudzThu 9/18/14 7:47 PM
Ridley
RP65Thu 9/18/14 8:42 PM
Ridley
dropdeaddizzyThu 9/18/14 9:16 PM

daveypittsFri 9/19/14 9:02 AM
Asiata. West or Pierce?
SommerzFri 9/19/14 9:15 AM
Asiata is not that good these questions on who to start should be no brainers
Hookem35Fri 9/19/14 10:05 AM
PPR Start 2: Asiata, Garcon, T.Y., Cruz
mattmundleFri 9/19/14 10:56 AM
Guys!!! Make your own damn decisions!!!!!
mattmundleFri 9/19/14 10:57 AM
Btw should I start Dwyer, ap, ray rice or Aaron Hernandez in the flex this week?
RP65Fri 9/19/14 11:06 AM
Hookem, I'd go with Garcon and TY if they play. Matt, I'd start all four. You'll be guaranteed a better Waiver slot this coming week. Lol.
DoctorFootballFri 9/19/14 1:31 PM
Asiata or Stacy
dropdeaddizzyFri 9/19/14 4:54 PM
@matt if you start them you will win i promise! they beat everybody!
mattmundleFri 9/19/14 4:57 PM
LOLOLOLOL that was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!
