The overall assumption is that Peterson could miss anywhere from 2-4 weeks, but the Vikings believe that he could begin practicing as soon as next week. Four weeks would have him back by Week 15, which is either the start or second round of most fantasy playoff leagues. Chester Taylor will take over as the starting RB and while he won't churn out multiple 200-yard games, he is a solid RB2 in nearly all formats.
