Minnesota Vikings news, rumors and injuriesMon, 09 Dec 2013 17:21:50 -0800 Minnesota Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes (ankle) is expected to miss a few weeks due to an ankle injury. Fantasy Tip: With just three games remaining in the regular season, he might be placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve list by the team. Share: Vikings | Adrian Peterson awaits word from specialist Mon, 09 Dec 2013 17:21:02 -0800 Updating a previous report, the Minnesota Vikings sent the MRI results of RB Adrian Peterson (foot) to a specialist Monday, Dec. 9, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. It's possible that unless the specialist gives Peterson a clean bill of health, and can convince the team he will not do any further damage by playing, the team will shut him down for the final three games. Two of the games are on the synthetic home turf at Mall of America Field. Fantasy Tip: If Peterson is limited or unable to play, Toby Gerhart figures to be the biggest beneficiary of more touches. He was solid in a relief role in Week 14. Add Gerhart as a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy play for Week 15 if Peterson is ruled out. Share: Vikings | Several day-to-day Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:43:01 -0800 Minnesota Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes (ankle), OG Brandon Fusco (knee) and TE John Carlson (concussion) are being listed as day-to-day. Rhodes is still walking with crutches but isn't wearing a walking boot. Share: Vikings | Kyle Rudolph to IR Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:36:55 -0800 The Minnesota Vikings officially placed TE Kyle Rudolph (foot) on the Injured Reserve Monday, Dec. 9. Share: Vikings | Greg Childs to stay on PUP list Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:04:28 -0800 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said WR Greg Childs (knee) will remain on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the rest of the season. Share: Vikings | Two considered day-to-day Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:56:55 -0800 Minnesota Vikings TE John Carlson (concussion) and OG Brandon Fusco (knee) are considered day-to-day at this point. Share: Vikings | Adrian Peterson has no tears in foot Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:42:02 -0800 Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (foot) said an MRI exam on his sprained foot has shown no ligament tears, and he also ruled out a Lisfranc injury. Peterson will undergo a CT scan but expects to play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy Tip: The fact remains that AD is dealing with a sprained foot, which will be tough to come back from for Week 15. Even if he winds up playing against the Eagles, he'll likely be limited. Toby Gerhart should be added everywhere as insurance or in the event that Peterson is out this weekend. Share: Vikings | Christian Ponder cleared Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:54:13 -0800 Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder (concussion) has been cleared, according to head coach Leslie Fraizer. There has been no determination on who will start in Week 15. Share: Vikings | Xavier Rhodes dealing with ankle issue Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:53:07 -0800 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Fraizer said CB Xavier Rhodes (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury. Share: Vikings | Kyle Rudolph to be placed in Injured Reserve Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:43:36 -0800 Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (foot) is expected to be placed on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Leslie Fraizer. Share: Vikings | More tests for Adrian Peterson Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:42:58 -0800 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said the team is waiting for more information on RB Adrian Peterson's (foot) foot sprain. Peterson will have more tests Monday, Dec. 9. Fantasy Tip: It would not be a huge surprise if Peterson is shut down for the rest of the year. Prepare for the worst and be ready to go without him the rest of the way. Share: Vikings | Toby Gerhart dealing with hamstring injury Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:40:41 -0800 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said RB Toby Gerhart (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's Week 14 game. Fantasy Tip: Owners should monitor his practice participation to see if he will be able to play Week 15. He could start if he does play because of the injury to Adrian Peterson (foot). Share: Vikings | Adrian Peterson has foot sprain Sun, 08 Dec 2013 18:02:38 -0800 Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (foot) is being diagnosed with a foot sprain, not an ankle injury as previously reported. Peterson admitted he has pain in his mid-foot area, and is scheduled to undergo an MRI Monday, Dec. 9, to determine if there's any Lisfranc damage. X-rays after the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens were negative. Peterson said Sunday, Dec. 8, that he does not believe the injury is of the season-ending variety. "Not at all. You should've seen me in here, trying to get back out there," Peterson said. "I kept my pads on throughout most of the third quarter, until I finally was like, 'I'm not going to be able to go'." Fantasy Tip: With Peterson out of the game, Toby Gerhart took over and had a solid stat line. If the team elects to keep Peterson out for any game action, Gerhart would be a tremendous fantasy replacement. Share: Vikings | Toby Gerhart shines in relief Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:34:33 -0800 Minnesota Vikings RB Toby Gerhart carried 15 times for 89 yards and a 41-yard touchdown in the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens, coming on for an injured RB Adrian Peterson (ankle). Fantasy Tip: Gerhart was highly touted out of Stanford, but he has been in the shadow of Peterson for his entire career. If Peterson is forced to miss time, Gerhart could be a sneaky fantasy player in the coming weeks. But there is no indication that Peterson's injury will keep him out. Share: Vikings | Cordarrelle Patterson has giant day Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:33:37 -0800 Minnesota Vikings WR Cordarrelle Patterson hauled in five receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens. He also had four kickoff returns for a total of 111 yards, and he rushed six yards on one carry. Fantasy Tip: Patterson was a fantasy dynamo in formats which also reward individual return yardage, but for those in standard leagues he was pretty good too. He is emerging as an impressive long-term keeper option, and imagine how good he could be with an NFL caliber quarterback throwing to him. Share:  |
