Vikings OC Norv Turner said RBs Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon will play against the Saints on Sunday. He added that he "might use 1 more if he gets a hot hand." That's a bit surprising since McKinnon doesn't seem ready for a significant role. He's still not a Week 3 fantasy option but is definitely worth stashing. Turner's comment makes Asiata a riskier fantasy play. A subpar NFL talent, he's unlikely to develop that hot hand.
