The Minnesota Vikings could decide to split carries between RB Toby Gerhart and RB Albert Young as the team's No. 2 running back this season, reports Tom Pelissero, of 1500ESPN.com. Head coach Brad Childress said, "I think it'll be by week and who we're facing and what exactly we need out of a second running back. If you remember last year, there were numbers of games where we didn't have a third running back up, and from time to time, that'll happen when we need maybe another tight end up or need another rush guy."
Huddle Up: In other words, neither Gerhart nor Young has done enough to claim the No. 2 job outright. There's no clear-cut handcuff to Adrian Peterson, who will be on the field the vast majority of the time anyway, and if AP does go down the Vikings would employ a committee approach to replace him. So unless you're in a league with large rosters or have a feeling about either Young or Gerhart you're compelled to act upon, neither has much in the way of fantasy value.

Mark Craig, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress said during a radio interview Friday, March 12, not to rule out RB Albert Young being promoted from the No. 3 running back spot. "Probably not enough has been said about Albert Young," Childress said. "Albert Young is a guy that has developed here tremendously in the last two years. As a matter of fact, Brett Favre and I had a long conversation about him when we were down south, and he believes he's got a chance to be a good back in this league."
Huddle Up: If the Vikings make it through free agency and the draft without bringing another running back, fantasy owners will need to get to know Young's name as he'd be at minimum a critical handcuff to Adrian Peterson and at best filling the touches vacated by the departing Chester Taylor. No word on whether or not Favre had anything to say regarding other personnel moves for the Vikings.
