Depends on who it would send to the bench...aka, how bad/good is the roster

ETA - I took the question is whether or not McKinnon was a fantasy starter, not a starter with the Viqueens.

He certainly looks to get the bulk of the carriesin the green zone, but what happens in the red zone might be different.

They have to find a way to keep Bridgewwater on his feet and that is somewhere that Asiata is still decidedly better.

Leveon Bell
Rashad Jennings/Andre Williams
Eddie Lacy
Knoshawn Moreno

I'm getting fricked on the regular by the giants backfield. The success is there but there's always some event that ends up with me having an RB1 with under 10 points. Lacy is in a shite situation this year (shite oline, shite playcalling, tough matchups) Moreno situation may not shake out as I expected.

This week I'm going with Andre Williams and Leveon Bell, but this is my last time starting a giants back if I don't get a return. Plus the Vikes take on the bills run D.

I'm looking at starting Mckinnon week 8 and beyond

Graded out negative in pass pro fwiw.

DET had 8 sacks and hit Stafford 12 times. A lot came from the DL but McKinnon allowed a LB and S to get Stafford a few times.

It's encouraging for McKinnon overall though, PPR leagues especially

I listened to the games on Sirius because I had a 14 hour haul (2 weddings, one weekend). I can only go off of what rotoworld is telling me

I'm not sure it matters. Is Minn. going to be in scoring position often enough to start a RB in a timeshare?

it wasn't a timeshare yesterday...detroits defense is really fricking good.

the NFC North backs are fricking poison this year aside from forte

last year it was a great season.

He did not look good in protection. That is for sure. Bridgewater got crushed with McKinnon in there.

I didn't get to watch one game yesterday...again, I can only go off of what rotoworld/yahoo updates say.

and after buffalo this week he gets

Tampa
Washington
Chicago
Green Bay

"Mckinnon made several nice blocks in blitz pickup and stayed on the field even when the Vikings went into hurry up mode. It was only one game, but it appears Mckinnon has become the starting running back in Minnesota."

"Fantasy owners can consider dropping Asiata for higher-ceiling waiver additions."

The schedule is nice for sure and McKinnon is the better Fantasy play, but I think Asiata will have more touches them last week.
