6 Things I Learned From Week 9 of the NFL Season
Mike Zimmer Hates Fantasy Football
Matt Asiata did it again.
Forget the fact that Jerick McKinnon has far outperformed the plodding Asiata this season. When the Vikings get close to the goal line, it's Matt Asiata time.
For those who didn't see, Asiata had 10 carries for 26 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Redskins yesterday. As a result, his Rushing NEP was about 5.5 points higher than McKinnon's. With everyone playing McKinnon over Asiata in fantasy football, it's very obvious that Mike Zimmer hates our weekend game.
Also, according to ProFootballReference.com, Asiata became just the 20th player in NFL history to rush for 26 yards or fewer and score three times. It shouldn't even surprise us if he does it again.
