If teams can take out Shiancoe with one player AND Minn can't force them to focus on something else, Shiancoe just isn't the type of playmaker to make plays regardless (like a Gonzalez or Gates in their prime). Until Minn gets some other receiveing options working (come on P. Harvin! (have him in both my FF leagues)), Shiancoe is going to be somewhat limited.

I am sure other teams watched the game tape and saw what happened was NO took Shiancoe out of the game. Until Minn stops that, I wouldn't bank too heavily on VS. Once Rice comes back or Farve/Harvin start clicking, then VS could really explode.

Roman Harper is a safety.
