Fantasy Football 2014: Minnesota Vikings RB Rundown
Minnesota made a pair of fundamental shifts this offseason starting with a coaching change replacing Leslie Frazier with Mike Zimmer and also drafting the QB they hope will be the end of their QB questions when they landed Teddy Bridgewater. If the Vikings can find some kind of passing game, it would be a huge help for Adrian Peterson who has been a one-man show in Minnesota the last few years and has been carrying fantasy teams as a top RB as well.

The Vikings will most likely need to use a ground-heavy attack again this season with the QB competition between Bridgewater and veteran Matt Cassel still ongoing. New Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner has turned around plenty of bad fantasy situations, so there is definitely some upside to the Vikings offense in general. The Vikings should take a step forward this year, and their rushing game will be the key to success as they feed their star, Adrian Peterson.
