Minnesota remains a stagnant offense, but will have some hope against a bad Indy defense next week. Jerick McKinnon played 61% of the snaps, while Matt Asiata played 39%. Stefon Diggs only played 58% of the snaps, which was a bit odd. Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph were the higher snap count leaders.

Minnesota continues to go in a different direction, especially on the offensive side. Matt Asiata played just 28% of the snaps, to Jerick McKinnon's 69%. Stefon Diggs was back this week playing 78% of the snaps. It didn't knock the other wideouts down at all, outside of maybe Charles Johnson.

Minnesota's offense looked better this week, as the running backs both saw below 40% of the snaps. They changed their offense, as we saw a lot of wideouts be used instead for quick passing plays. This might be the way we see Minnesota go from now on.

Bye Week
Stefon Diggs sat out this week, which left the WR1 role wide open. Adam Thielen played 92% of the snaps, and put up a very solid line. Kyle Rudolph played his heavy snaps, with Cordarrelle Paterson playing 61%. Jerick McKinnon still had more touches, but Matt Asiata close the gap a bit this week.

Adam Thieland finished with the second highest amount of snaps behind Stefon Diggs. Cordarrelle Patterson was right behind.

Kyle Rudolph has evolved as a bigger threat for Sam Bradford to throw too behind Stefon Diggs. Both him and Diggs led the receivers in snaps. Now Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata went just as everyone planned, which might be a surprise. The workload was split 65-35 in favor of McKinnon.

The Minnesota WR2 isn't a sexy fantasy spot, but Charles Johnson played 78% of the team's snaps. Adam Thielen came behind him. It was Kyle Rudolph and Stefon Diggs who led the way, however. As expected, Adrian Peterson saw 60% of the carries, and most of the touches.

Minnesota Vikings Snap Count Breakdown
There's a lot of debate about if Teddy Bridgewater is a good quarterback or not (mostly not), but in terms of the Viking's passing offense, Bridgewater is set in stone as the starter. Bridgewater played 97 percent of the snaps in 2015, and only allowed Shaun Hill to sneak into three percent of the time. Minnesota will once again be a run-heavy team in 2016, which should insulate Bridgewater as the only show in town.
Adrian Peterson saw 65 percent of the offensive snaps in 2015, one of the highest rates in the NFL. The 30 year old running back, coming off an ACL injury, was the clear feature back in the offense once again. Jerick McKinnon began contributing pretty consistently by the end of the year, especially in the passing game. He should provide some solid relief for Peterson on third down in 2016. Matt Asiata once again gave Peterson a breather on between the tackles and on the goal-line carries.
The Vikings tried to experiment with Charles Johnson early in the season, but it was quickly realized he wasn't ready to be a significant contributor. He ended the season at only 21 percent of the snaps after starting off as the starter. Mike Wallace was a starter for most of the season, and led the team wide receiver snaps, but he's obviously gone now. Stefon Diggs was second in line after a relatively early season breakout, he should climb into a significant role in 2016. The Vikings will also welcome Laquon Treadwell to the team, they picked him in the first round of the 2016 draft.
Kyle Rudolph doesn't have the fantasy appeal, but he's been a consistent presence in the Vikings lineup for quite a few years now. He played 83 percent of the snaps in 2015, and was in on as both a blocker and a receiver. Rhett Ellison also got a significant amount of snaps, accumulating 46 percent of the offensive snaps before the season was over. While Ellison was solid, it wouldn't be surprising to see MyCole Pruitt steal more than the 20 percent snap-share he had in 2015. Pruitt is an uber-athlete and has a lot of versatility.
