Fantasy football players in the news The latest news, rumors and injury updates on key fantasy football players. Minnesota Vikings news, rumors and injuriesWed, 19 Jun 2013 10:18:18 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder might be challenged by Matt Cassel for the starting job during the 2013 season. Fantasy Tip: Neither QB gives us the warm and fuzzies for fantasy value, and with the way Cassel has performed of late, a switch to him wouldn't necessarily present an upgrade, even if Ponder struggles. It could be an ugly year surrounding Adrian Peterson in Minny.

"I just don't want to put a time frame on it," Sullivan said. "We're taking it one day at a time. I promise, I am doing absolutely everything I can to be ready for that [week one] game in Detroit." Share: Vikings | Greg Childs not cleared yet Sun, 16 Jun 2013 09:30:02 -0700 Minnesota Vikings WR Greg Childs (knees) has not been cleared to participate in team practices at this point and likely will not be for some time.

Share: Vikings | Jared Allen to miss next week Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:52:24 -0700 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen (shoulder) will not attend mandatory minicamp next week as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. Share: Vikings | Unsure about Greg Childs' status for camp Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:34:44 -0700 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said he is not sure if Greg Childs (knee) will receive medical clearance for the start of training camp. Frazier did not rule out the possibility of Childs practicing early in camp.

Share: Vikings | Travis Bond receiving reps with starters Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:55:41 -0700 Minnesota Vikings OT Travis Bond has received reps at left and right tackle with the first-team offense during organized team activities when OT Matt Kalil or Phil Loadholt need a rest. Bond could be used as the team's swing tackle this season. Share: Vikings | Unlikely to use Joe Webb as punt returner Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:26:35 -0700 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said the team sees WR Joe Webb more as a wide receiver and kick returner and not as a punt returner even though Webb was working on punt returning during organized team activities Wednesday, June 5. Frazier said Webb was fielding punts in order to give him more reps catching the ball. Share: Vikings | Jared Allen on same page as team Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:28:26 -0700 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen (shoulder, knee) said he's on the same page with the team when it comes to the fact that he doesn't have a contract guarantee in his final season with the club. "I was in an organization previously that didn't respect where I was at in my contract," Allen said. "They promised me a lot of stuff and didn't deliver. And here, I don't have that problem." Allen is set to make more than $14 million in his final year under contract with Minnesota. He said he's unsure if he'll want to negotiate a new contract during the year, but he's just happy the team is willing to let him play out his last year. Allen is attending the team's minicamp but is only observing after having surgeries on his left shoulder and right knee four months ago. Head coach Leslie Frazier said Allen probably won't practice until training camp. Allen said his shoulder is about 97 percent healthy right now. Fantasy Tip: Although Allen's sack total declined from 22 to 12 last year, he remains a disruptive force on Minny's D-line, and he is a nice player to own for IDP purposes. Share: Vikings | Jeff George to mentor Christian Ponder? Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:32:12 -0700 Former NFL QB Jeff George is in camp with the Minnesota Vikings as a guest instructor and mentor to QB Christian Ponder. "We told our players just to be able to pick his brain, our quarterbacks, and talk with him about some of the things he saw as a young quarterback and what he saw as a veteran and just his maturation over the course of his career," head coach Leslie Frazier said. "He was a very good player for a long time, high draft pick, and I think he can really help our players with some of his background and his knowledge as well." Fantasy Tip: Ponder hasn't impressed in his time in the NFL, but in his defense, he hasn't had much to work with through the air besides Percy Harvin. He has a few more weapons after the signing of Greg Jennings and the selection of Cordarrelle Patterson in the draft, but the Vikes' offense still runs through Adrian Peterson. Ponder is a shaky backup option heading into draft season. Share: Vikings | Jacob Lacey undergoes surgery Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:48:12 -0700 Minnesota Vikings CB Jacob Lacey (thumb) underwent surgery Wednesday, June 5, to repair a dislocated thumb. Lacey suffered the injury during organized team activities Tuesday, June 4. Share: Vikings | Have not talked with Jared Allen about extension Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:38:58 -0700 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen said he has not had any contract extension talks with the team at this point and does not have a problem with that. He said he is not sure if he will be willing to talk about an extension during the regular season. Share:  |
