The Minnesota Vikings have failed to find a consistent ground game this year.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 13: Jerick McKinnon a bad play vs. Cowboys
Even at his best in 2016, Jerick McKinnon has been a fantasy dud far too often.

They have tried splitting carries between Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata. Neither has done much this year, though Asiata has at least been reliable at the goal line.
As for McKinnon, he is the one getting more touches (121 vs. Asiata’s 112), but has failed to do anything with the extra opportunities. In 10 games this season, McKinnon has failed to top 100 all-purpose yards, has scored only once, and has eight games of less than 50 total yards.
Do not expect that to change on Thursday Night Football when Minnesota hosts the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks McKinnon as the 34th-best running back in Week 13. He faces a Cowboys defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
Keep McKinnon on the bench this week. He probably should not even be on your roster at this point.
