McKinnon rushed for 36 yards on 20 carries, and caught one of three targets for 10 more in Sunday's 31-13 win over Houston.
McKinnon once again led the Vikings in carries, but had a 1-yard touchdown vultured by Matt Asiata. This annoying usage pattern is likely to persist, meaning McKinnon is unlikely to provide owners with many short-yardage scores. Asiata outplayed him in this one, but the 2014 third-rounder is still the more explosive running back in an offense that's committed to maintaining balance.
