DeWayne McBride is being waived by the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

McBride has been waived by the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the roster cut deadline. He had a solid preseason this year, but it wasn't enough for the second-year player to earn a roster spot. He seems like a likely candidate to end up on Minnesota's practice squad if he clears waivers.

DeWayne McBride has been waived by the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

McBride was a seventh-round pick in this year's draft coming off of a great season at UAB, but he wasn't able to lock down a roster spot and the Vikings are now waiving him. He seems like a prime candidate to come back on the practice squad, assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed. This move locks in Ty Chandler as the Vikings RB2 and also probably means that Kene Nwangwu will cycle in periodically.

DeWayne McBride took six carries for 15 yards on Thursday against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

McBride is competing for the backup role in the Vikings backfield with Ty Chandler behind Alexander Mattison. Chandler appears to have the edge right now for the backup role.
