Vikings Beat: If Adrian Peterson expresses remorse, he'll return 'probably sooner than later'

Nov 05, 2014

Vikings beat writer Chip Scoggins: "If (Adrian Peterson) is truly sorry about what he did, I think you're going to see him on the field probably sooner than later."

Scoggins went on to predict that we'd have an answer by Friday and said that he "absolutely" believes that Peterson will return to play for the Vikings this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson could still face further punishment from the league, but given the odds that Roger Goodell deems an eight-game suspension as time served, Peterson should be reinstated. Then it's a matter of the Vikings making the decision to welcome him back, which could potentially create another public relations nightmare. The decision from the league could be delayed since Goodell was busy testifying Wednesday at Ray Rice's appeal.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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.
