Ponder has been at practice and taking the starter snaps, but there's been questions as to whether or not Matt Cassel or Josh Freeman might get the start. All three quarterbacks have been poor this season, but the team trusts in Ponder the most, for what it's worth.
The Vikings are adamant that they won’t make a decision until Saturday, however, according to to the Star Tribune. In other words, after the work he got today, they’ll need to see how he feels when he wakes up.
Fantasy Impact: Minnesota will make a decision on Saturday, but we might now know it until game time. If you depend on Ponder for your fantasy team first -- we’re sorry. Second: Ponder faces a horrible matchup against the Seattle secondary, which is the most talented in the NFL at this point. He should be avoided at all costs.
