It was the first time this year Vaki has seen more than six carries. The Lions went ultra run-heavy in this one to combat the Vikings’ vexing blitz scheme, which led to 35 carries on the day. Vaki should be stashed in most formats in cae Jahmyr Gibbs misses any time in the coming weeks. Vaki would be a potential 20-touch weekly option in such a scenario.
