Vikings coach Leslie Frazier confirmed Adrian Peterson (knee) will play a minimal role if he's active in Week 1 against Jacksonville.
Peterson won't be a fantasy option against the Jags. "We recognize if he's able to get in this first ball game, it'll be with limited exposure," Frazier said. The Vikings won't decide whether to activate Peterson until just before game time, and it sounds like he wouldn't get more than a fistful of touches even if he plays. Look for Toby Gerhart to handle the rushing load in Week 1.
