Summary

Running Back Rank: #64All Players: #238

Adrian Peterson was full strength sooner than expected and got about all the work at running back last season, limiting Gerhart. He had the fewest carries in three seasons with the Vikings, rushing just 50 times. His rushing yardage total was his lowest as a result. He got his usual work in the passing game, though, catching at least 20 passes for the third straight season. Gerhart should continue to play a similar role this season for the Vikings, serving as the top backup at running back. Gerhart lacks breakaway speed, but is a very good between the tackles runner that does well in finishing his runs. He isn't a bad receiver out of the backfield or blocker, which helps his case to find the field. Gerhart might not be the best athlete on the field, but he is a gamer.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Gerhart is the handcuff for Adrian Peterson, but doesn't have much value besides that. Even if he were forced to start, his numbers wouldn't be off the charts if you consider his skill set. Consider him a No. 4 back for fantasy teams. He could get around 400 total yards and a few scores.

Minnesota Vikings RB Toby Gerhart was expected to split time with RB Adrian Peterson early on, but he ended up in the same backup role he's always been. Gerhart is entering a contract year, and he has minimal mileage on his body. He figures to return as Peterson's primary backup unless the team can find value in the trade market.

Sep 24 05:22 pm

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said the team has some concern over RB Toby Gerhart's three fumbles in Week 3 because they do not want him to lose confidence. 'We're going to need Toby to make big plays for us throughout this season and we've got to keep his confidence up,' Frazier said. 'We know he's capable of holding onto the football. He usually does a good job with that. We don't want him to go in the tank and get down.'
Fantasy Impact: He won't get any meaningful work if he can't hold onto the ball better.

Minnesota Vikings RB Toby Gerhart had six carries for 18 yards in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he added one reception for eight yards.
Fantasy Impact: Gerhart wasn't much of a factor as Adrian Peterson got more work than expected. Expect more of the same going forward.

'Now we wanted to take him down and just see how forceful he ran the football and his presence.'

Aug 07 11:22 pm

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said Tuesday, Aug. 7, that the team will 'be a little more cautious' with RB Toby Gerhart and his workload. It's mostly due to the availability and uncertainty of RB Adrian Peterson (knee), so they want to keep Gerhart as healthy as possible just in case.

There are no plans by the Minnesota Vikings coaching staff to let RB Toby Gerhart shoulder a heavier load in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 10, against the San Francisco 49ers. 'We'll get him in there some,' head coach Leslie Frazier said Monday, Aug. 6, 'but we're not going to hand it off to him a lot, not in the preseason. He'll have limited reps for sure.'

Minnesota Vikings RB Toby Gerhart has bulked up this season and offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave feels it will be beneficial to the team, as they plan to count on him this year. 'Toby is going to be needed by our team based on Adrian's (Peterson) health. I know Toby is looking forward to making a big contribution like he did in the second half of 2011,' Musgrave said.

Minnesota Vikings RB Toby Gerhart said he is preparing as if he will be the starting running back Week 1 but is not ruling out the possibility that RB Adrian Peterson (knee) will be ready for the start of the regular season.
