Minnesota Vikings Snap Counts

Sam Bradford had himself a day before giving way to the backup, and it was a big day to Kyle Rudolph. He played 76% of the snaps but was one of the top scoring tight ends. Jerick McKinnon played 64% of the snaps, and had a successful day running the ball. Adam Thielen in snaps for wideouts.

Adrian Peterson played last week, but likely won't see time again this year. Jerick McKinnon played 69% of the snaps. Matt Asiata played 32%. Adam Thielen has the highest scoring wideout this week, who played 96% of the snaps. Stefon Diggs played 73%, who hasn't quite been himself.

Adrian Peterson played this past week, but didn't register over 20 snaps. Jerick McKinnon played 59% of the snaps, yet the whole offense failed to show up. Stefon Diggs played 85% of the snaps this week, which was higher than the previous few. Cordarrelle Patterson played 76%.

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 sluggish offense continues, and were without their best offensive player, Stefon Diggs. Jerick McKinnon played 63% of the snaps over Matt Asiata. Adam Thielen played 95% of the snaps at wide receiver, with Cordarrelle Patterson playing 58%. We also saw some Charles Johnson and Laquan Treadwell.

Two of Minnesota's touchdown came on the defense and special teams side, so the offense wasn't particularly in control. Cordarrelle Patterson played 60% of the snaps, which was behind Adam Thielen at 76%. Stefon Diggs played just 74%. Jerick McKinnon had the edge over Matt Asiata.

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.

The Minnesota offense is in a tailspin, especially due to the offensive line. Jerick McKinnon was back this week and played just 37% of the snaps, which was 3% less than Matt Asiata. Cordarrelle Patterson played 57% of the snaps, and was cut into a little bit by Charles Johnson and Adam Thielen.

Jerick McKinnon was out this past week, which pushed Matt Asiata into the featured role. He played 71% of the snaps, and rushed on 33% of them. Stefon Diggs played 90% of the snaps, and we saw yet again Cordarrelle Patterson play a hefty amount of snaps. Three wide sets were used quite a bit.

Jerick McKinnon left with an injury early on in the game, playing just a total of 21 snaps. Matt Asiata took over the rest, playing 75% of the team snaps. Cordarrelle Patterson was the highest scoring Viking this week. He played 51 snaps, which was the third most among Minnesota wide receivers.

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.

Jerick McKinnon was yet again the lead back in Minnesota, playing 62% of the snaps. Matt Asiata played 39% of them, and both finished with a touchdown. Expect this to be the workload going forward. 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.

Sam Bradford took a beating in week 2, but managed to play all 100 snaps. He linked up with his main man Stefon Diggs, who saw 88% of the snaps. Charles Johnson and Adam Thielen were both right behind. With the Adrian Peterson injury, Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon will tick upwards in snaps.

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.
