Nwangwu had just 35 total yards last year, barely seeing the field on offense. He was one of the top return men in the game, though. He is a real asset on kick returns, having three return touchdowns in two seasons. He should continue to play a similar role this year. He is likely to remain at least third on the depth chart this year. Nwangwu is a big back that has plenty of thump. He does well on the inside and has enough burst to make big plays in the running game. He has good vision and can get to the next level in a hurry.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Nwangwu is not in a great spot for playing time offensively, but will get plenty of work on special teams. If you get points for return yards, he is worth a pick come draft day.

Minnesota Vikings running back Kene Nwangwu (back) is being elevated to the team's 53-man roster. Nwangwu began the season on Injured Reserve with a back injury and is ready to make his return in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old only has 28 career touches on offense in two seasons, so he's unlikely to enter the fantasy radar. However, he earned second-team All-Pro honors as a returner last season, so he could give the Vikings a boost on special teams.
