Vikings RB Adrian Peterson will be game-time decision

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier told ESPN 1500 Twin Cities that running back Adrian Peterson @AdrianPeterson will "probably be a game-time decision" in Week 1. Frazier continued by stating, "We've got a lot of things we want to get done with him this week. I doubt that we would know without getting him through an entire week if we thought he were ready to play in a football game. We need to take him through some more things this week."

Fantasy Analysis:

Although that doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement to me, this could be a bit of gamesmanship to keep their Week 1 opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, on their toes and gameplanning for multiple scenarios with and without Peterson in the lineup. Minnesota will already be without wide receiver Jerome Simpson @rome089 for three games so having as many of their playmakers available would be ideal. As most should already know, Toby Gerhart @Toby_Gerhart will get the start should Peterson be unavailable to play.
