Matt Asiata plays backup role against Packers
by Aaron Martinuzzi | Mon, Dec 26th 6:50pm EST
Matt Asiata carried the ball just six times for 34 yards on Saturday and caught 3 of 4 targets for 30 receiving yards.
Fantasy Impact:
The Vikings' offense took to the air early during Saturday's game against Green Bay, leaving Asiata on the sideline much of the day as Jerick McKinnon got the majority of touches out of Minnesota's backfield. While Asiata's yardage total was far from embarrassing, he didn't score a touchdown, leaving him with just six standard fantasy points and revealing the downside of relying on a team's short-yardage and goal-line running back. Asiata will hope to find the end zone one last time this season against the Chicago Bears in Week 17.
