Packers vs. Vikings: Fantasy football projections featuring Adrian Peterson, Jordy Nelson, James Jones
We break down the pertinent fantasy projections for the Week 17 matchup between the Packers and Vikings.
USA TODAY Sports
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers remains a no-brainer start as always, but he may be without Randall Cobb (ankle, questionable). The good news is that Jordy Nelson (hamstring, probable) is expected to return. Ryan Grant came off the streets to run for 80 yards last week, but with Alex Green coming back, it could be more of a timeshare. Neither guy is a compelling fantasy option.
Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson is looking to make history Sunday. He needs 207 rushing yards to break Eric Dickerson's single-season record, and by all accounts the Vikings will do everything they can to help him get it. AP missed some practice time with an abdomen issue, but he'll be good to go.
Blair Walsh is the only other player on this team worth starting in fantasy.
