Peterson inactive for Sunday

I'm looking to pick McKinnon up because of his better long term value - I don't need an immediatebpkug and play. Would y'all drop Rueben Randle and/or Hurns for him?

freak athlete. Asiata is a big slow fullback type.

my guess is they sign a 3rd back, who may be better then either of these guys in the long term.

Gotcha. Well now I have both

talking SPARQ & simScores, im not gonna bore you with the particulars, but just read below

No other running back has an athletic profile similar (i.e., over 80) to that of Jerick McKinnon. Backs with McKinnon’s speed, lower-body explosiveness and upper-body strength just don’t exist. He’s truly unique.

He’s also a freak. An average NFL skill position player will ring in at around a 110 pSPARQ, a good athlete at 120, and very good at 130. Elite is about 140, and the 150+ range is reserved for Calvin Johnson, Vernon Davis, and a select few others. McKinnon’s 147.5 is one of the top scores among all running backs over the last 16 years.

An option quarterback at Georgia Southern, there’s certainly a fair amount for McKinnon to learn at the NFL level to become a running back. The transition isn’t guaranteed. But out of 1000+ RBs, my database shows that only 56 have recorded a sub-4.4 40-yard-dash at either the combine or their pro day. The top 6 pSPARQs from those 56 are: Willis McGahee (tests taken pre-ACL), Chris Johnson, Edgerrin James, Jamal Lewis, Reggie Bush and Jerick McKinnon. When you’re the kind of freak McKinnon is, you tend to do pretty well in the NFL.

Yep, my flex options are slim as shite in my 14 teamer so this is kind of a blessing

tough call….hard to say how long AP will be out

I would stick with Asiata. But it is truly a toss up.

Asiata is only a must add if you need a starting RB in the next week or 2. His ceiling is so low its laughable. They'll sign another RB or go with McKinnon. No need to pick him up if you're not going to play him. It's not like he's going to explode and become arian foster or something.

I wonder how much trust the coaching staff has in McKinnon to pick up blitzes, etc.
