Vikings' Jerick McKinnon could surpass 30 catches in 2016

Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon is very capable of catching more than 30 passes this year, according to Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

What It Means:

Starter Adrian Peterson remains a clear-cut first-round pick in fantasy leagues, but McKinnon poses a significant threat to Peterson's PPR upside. McKinnon is a superior passing-down option to Peterson. He has averaged 24 receptions over the past two years.

Our algorithms don't quite project him to get to that level, but it will be close. We peg him for 93 rushing attempts for 463 yards and 2.49 touchdowns, as well as 29 receptions for 215 yards and 1.76 scores.
