The Facts:
Mike Tice indicated Monday that Moore no longer is the starter and instead will compete for playing time Sunday against Pittsburgh. Michael Bennett has replaced an injured Moore as the primary runner in the Vikings' past two games, and Tice said he has grown "enamored" with rookie Ciatrick Fason.

The Vikings typically use two running backs per game -- with Fason serving as a short-yardage specialist -- but Tice said: "We'll be going down the stretch here with three good backs. Mewelde will get plenty of chances." Tice said he considers the 207-pound Fason "a big back" who can be a critical weapon. Fason has rushed for three touchdowns among his 24 carries this season.
