The moment Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier hired Jeff Davidson as offensive line coach back in January, I knew the team’s offense will be based around running back Adrian Peterson and the run game. Davidson, the offensive coordinator of the Panthers the past four seasons, helped orchestrate their deadly run attack that set team rushing records. While his passing [...]
The Vikings ruled out the possibility of signing free-agent receiver Plaxico Burress, but that doesn’t mean the team’s players necessarily feel that way. Receiver Percy Harvin was expected to work out with him in Miami Monday after getting in touch with him last week. On Tuesday, running back Adrian Peterson spoke about his support for Burress. “Of [...]
An eventful day just became a little more interesting (….. and frustrating for fantasy team owners). In an unexpected move, quarterback Brett Favre is going to start Monday after being listed as “out” just two days earlier. Favre was upgraded to “questionable” hours before gametime. Running back Adrian Peterson, on the other hand, will not [...]
Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said an MRI determined that Adrian Peterson’s ankle injury appears to be a sprain. Considering the running back did not return to the game last week after injuring his ankle, and that he was kept off the practice field Wednesday, the sprain could be serious and may jeopardize his status [...]

The Minnesota Vikings have a lock for the starting running back position in Adrian Peterson, but the roles behind Peterson is big question mark. According to Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune, running back Albert Young is having a great training camp and is in position to be second on the depth chart. Zulgad believes Young could [...]
The Minnesota Vikings announced they agreed to a deal with free-agent running back Ryan Moats Tuesday. Moats, 27, had his best season last year with the Houston Texans with an increased workload especially when Texans’ starter running back Steve Slaton went down with an injury late in the season. Moats averaged 3.9 yards on 101 [...]
Free-agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson walked out of the Vikings’ Winter Park facility around 5:20 p.m. Thursday without a contract but holding a Vikings’ jersey. Tomlinson is now expected to visit with the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints after meeting with the Vikings. Sports Illustrated‘s Jim Trotter spoke to Tomlinson after [...]
Kevin Seifert (ESPN.com NFC North Blog) brought up an interesting topic when he talked about the possibility of the Minnesota Vikings using receiver Percy Harvin as a running back in some sort of reserve role behind running back Adrian Peterson. Seifert clearly is not a big fan of that idea when responding to a question [...]
