Vikings preparing for Adrian Peterson holdout?

Jun 28, 2010

The Vikings, by drafting running back Toby Gerhart and then signing RB Ryan Moats, could be preparing for an Adrian Peterson contract holdout.

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson missed four days of minicamp, much to the chagrin of head coach Brad Childress. According to what he told the Tulsa World newspaper, "It's over with."

Based on that, Peterson should be there when camp opens, but perhaps the Vikings aren't convinced. With the loss of Chester Taylor to Chicago, the Vikes were in need of some RB depth anyway, and Moats had connections to Childress from his days with the Eagles. Obviously, Peterson is a top-two fantasy back so it's worth paying attention to.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
