Matt Asiata not the only one active
Vikings running back Matt Asiata, who scored three touchdowns with Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart inactive last week, is active for Week 16 at Cincinnati despite an ankle injury that limited his practice time leading up to the game. He figures to play a minimal role, though, with Peterson and Gerhart also active.

Vikings announce roster moves Saturday

Bobby Rainey RB | BAL
Bobby Rainey could be flex option Week 16
Buccaneers running back Bobby Rainey heads into Week 16 at St. Louis as a potential flex option for Fantasy owners. We hope he can play well when needed most.
Rainey has shown he can be useful in quality matchups and struggle in difficult ones. He has extended action in six games and finished with double digits in Fantasy points against Miami, Atlanta and Buffalo. He's also had six points or less against Detroit, Carolina and San Francisco.
The Rams enter this game having allowed 10 running backs to score double digits in Fantasy points with 16 touchdowns. It's a matchup Rainey can have success in, but it's not a slam dunk, especially on the road. Rainey has nine Fantasy points combined away from home.
We like Rainey this week but don't love him. Because of that he should be considered a flex option and is worth starting if needed.

Darren McFadden probable to play against Chargers
