Jerome Simpson brings big-play ability to Minny

The Vikings averaged just 6.4 yards per pass attempt last season -- 27th in the NFL.  OC Bill Musgrave believes free-agent addition Jerome Simpson will bring desperately-needed big-play ability to the passing game.  “He’s just what the doctor ordered for the Viking offense,” Musgrave said. “He’s an explosive guy who can really adjust and adapt to the football. We need somebody with juice like that playing the split end. I’m really looking forward to Jerome and our quarterback starting to jell together.”  Simpson boasts a career 14.1 yards-per-catch average and had 3 receptions of 40+ yards last season.  With Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson on the field with him in Minnesota, Simpson should see plenty of single-coverage.  We like him as an upside bench stash in fantasy this year.  Just remember that he's suspended for the first 3 games of the season.
