Fantasy Impact: The Vikings were going to have to let Peterson take hits in practice at some point just to see if/how much they can use him in Week 1 against Jacksonville. Frasier has already said Peterson will be a game-time decision and fantasy owners will probably want to wait a week before putting considering him for their lineups. Toby Gerhart is likely going to be the Vikings running back to use this weekend.
