BREAKING: Adrian Peterson suspended rest of season

Nov 18, 2014

The Vikings apparently won’t be getting their wish this year.

The NFL announced that running back Adrian Peterson would be suspended for at least the rest of the year, without pay, for violations of the league’s personal conduct policy.

He will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15, 2015.

Fantasy Impact:

PFT's story went on to say that in the letter to Peterson, commissioner Roger Goodell said the timing of the potential reinstatement will be based on results of counseling and treatment. The precise length of suspension will depend on Peterson's action, the letter added. The letter added that the league is prepared to put in place a program that can help Peterson to succeed, but it added that "no program can succeed without [Peterson's] genuine and continuing engagement." Peterson has three days to appeal the decision, and based on previous stances taken by his side, you can count on that, PTF added. While it may be best to at least wait the three days to see how this plays out, it's hard to imagine Peterson getting back on the field this year. It's looking like you can eventually drop him in redraft leagues. Jerick McKinnon will continue to carry the load for the Vikings with Matt Asiata in the mix.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
