2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on Jul-16-2012 by Rob Warner

The Stanford alum averaged 20 touches and 99 yards in five late-season games and could be the Vikings' starting RB for the first 6 games of the season if AP lands on the PUP list. In two seasons, he has just two rushing TDs and lacks break away speed to be considered a solid fantasy starter except when the matchup is favorable. Gerhart still struggles in pass protection, which could limit his snaps and makes him best drafted as an RB3 if Peterson is forced to miss the early portion of the season.

UPDATE: Gerhart participated in Vikings minicamp and showed no signs of the MCL injury suffered in week 17 (no surgery was needed). Gerhart has averaged 21 touches per game in his five starts with AP on the sidelines.
