I think the Vikings have already found their replacement for AP. The Vikings are ranked 7th in the NFL in rushing without AP and Jerrick McKinnon is averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Between him and Asiata the Vikings rushed for 241 yds last week.
I don't think the Vikings benefit as much from adding Davis as they are hurt by losing Patterson.
The Chiefs are already ranked 9th in scoring at 25.5 ppg (tied with San Diego and ahead of Denver, btw) and we averaged 30.7 ppg in our last 3 games and 37.5 ppg in our last 2. We are trending upward after only scoring 10 in our first game.
Knile rushed for more yards than Jamaal did Monday night and, while Patterson would definitely help our passing game, it's the strength of our running game that sets up the pass to be successful. We need to keep Davis for insurance in case Charles gets hurt again and just to spell Charles and reduce the wear and tear on his body. He's had a torn ACL and is playing through an ankle sprain (which he described as "sore" in his press conference after Monday Nights game.
So I would say ... "no."
