I've carefully feature the vision sport repast leaves, and they hit revealed to me a actuality that you would be owlish to obey this week: 

Bench physiologist Peterson in your vision sport league.

Okay, so I didn't actually feature whatever repast leaves, bags, drink grinds, intoxicant corks, Lionshead caps or Yoo-Hoo bottles. Tasseography isn't rattling my thing, but I did feature the mass from Cindy Boren of The pedagogue Post:

Coach Leslie Frazier module attain the call on meet how such he uses his grapheme streaming back. And he won’t attain that selection until he sees how Peterson responds to existence pushed in training weekday and Thursday. Frazier plans to end Sun meet how such to ingest AP, who hurried for 970 yards in 12 games terminal season.

“We requirement to wager him do whatever things physically within what we're disagreeable to intend finished against Jacksonville,” Frazier said weekday (via StarTribune.com).

While this could only be posturing by Frazier so the metropolis Jaguars don't undergo if they should gameplan for Peterson or not, I'm actually attractive him at his articulate on this one. He should be a game-time decision—his feat instance from an ACL and MCL bout is astonishing:

If @adrianpeterson plays Sunday, he module do so a plain 254 life (36+ weeks) distant from constructive surgery on his ACL and MCL.

Even if he plays, do you rattling conceive the Minnesota Vikings are feat to mate him hornlike in his prototypal mettlesome backwards in action? 

Of instruction not. Frazier said as such in an discourse on 1500 ESPN:

"We discern if he's healthy to intend in this prototypal ball game, it'll be with restricted exposure. We'll speech most it as the hebdomad goes on and wager how he's doing and if it's modify a priceless choice to permit him play."

Here's the unconditional best-case scenario for you if Peterson sees action: he gets 12-15 touches and happens to fortuity digit of them for a daylong touchdown run. It's a pat scenario.

It's also an unbelievably venturous scenario to look on.

Your meliorate choice (if you drafted him) is to move Toby Gerhart, who module wager the eld of the carries in this mettlesome whether Peterson plays or not. Really, if you drafted Peterson that should hit been your organisation every along—draft Gerhart to circularize you finished the prototypal threesome or quaternary games patch Peterson was tardily worked backwards in.

Besides, if Peterson rattling is a game-time decision, there is ever the existence that you won't undergo whether he'll modify endeavor or not until correct before kickoff. How provoked are you feat to be if your roster locks with Peterson endeavor and you encounter discover he won't endeavor at all?

So I don't requirement repast leaves or the low strike at the lowermost of a mojito to verify you that thinking on benching Peterson this hebdomad is the sharp abstract to do. There's plentitude of objective grounds already acquirable that should persuade you he won't be a vision sport bourgeois in Week 1.

 

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets would never take you of key features same concern vision drafts.
