McKinnon needs to remain the lead RB - Guest - 10-30-2017
I kind of feel like McKinnon will be gone after this season. Of the contracts we have coming up, and with a big QB contract likely to eat up a lot of cap space, I don't see how we can afford McKinnon unless he just doesn't get the offers we all think he'll likely get....seems like a small chance as he's outperformed what any of us would have predicted coming into this season.

another fun fact from vikings.com
Quote:He is running so much stronger this year. He brings some pop with him. So glad we have some quality backups this year.McKinnon averaged 3.6 yards per carry (50 yards on 14 rushes) against
a Browns defense that entered the game ranked first in the league with
2.96 yards allowed per rush.
According to analytics site Pro
Football Focus, McKinnon averaged 3.29 yards after contact per carry,
squeezing out more than initially available. PFF credited McKinnon with
forcing five missed tackles.
