Jerick McKinnon, RB, Minnesota Vikings

Price: $5,600

With Dalvin Cook done for the year, it was Jerick McKinnon that stepped up and played the biggest role in the Minnesota Vikings backfield.

He out-snapped Latavius Murray 47-22 on Monday night, playing 67% of the team's offensive snaps. He saw a significant workload (16 carries and 6 targets) while Murray carried the ball 12 times and was targeted twice.

McKinnon was also the far more productive of the two, turning his workload into 146 yards from scrimmage and scoring a touchdown. His 0.44 FanDuel points per snap ranked fifth among backs that played at least 20 snaps in Week 5.

The Green Bay Packers have allowed slightly above-average fantasy production to opposing running backs this season. With a price tag that doesn't yet reflect his increased workload, McKinnon is a steal this week.
