Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is listed as probable on the team's injury report.
Adrian Peterson injury update: Vikings RB locked in as top-5 fantasy option
The Vikings will trot out their starting running back once again on Sunday, despite multiple injuries. We break down the fantasy implications.
Peterson, despite dealing with injuries to his hip, ankle and finger, is expected to man his post in the Vikings backfield after getting in a limited practice session on Friday.
The Vikings held their featured running back out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but there is no concern about his status for Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy impact: Peterson has logged at least 94 total yards in four of his six games this season, giving fantasy owners a high-floor, high-ceiling option that has been so difficult to find among other fantasy running backs.
All Peterson owners should have Jerick McKinnon on their benches, but this isn't the week to worry about them switching places.
Peterson remains a top-five fantasy option at running back against a middling Chicago Bears defense that has only allowed two rushing touchdowns on the season to opposing running backs.
It would be to the surprise of no one if that total rises once Peterson is through on Sunday.
