Newsbreakers
September 28, 2008
Running back Chester Taylor (foot) is active for the Week 4 game against the Titans.

Our View:The backup could see a decent amount of action due to Adrian Peterson's lingering hamstring injury. He is not a strong fantasy start, though.
September 26, 2008
Chester Taylor (foot) is listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Titans, according to The Pioneer Press.

Our View:Taylor should play though both he and Adrian Peterson are listed as questionable. Look for both to fill their standard roles this weekend.
July 24, 2008
Adrian Peterson established himself as the workhorse of the Vikings' offense as a rookie in 2007, but coach Brad Childress noted that there will still be plenty of carries for Chester Taylor in 2008, according to the Star Tribune. Childress said, "I think Chester has a great mindset. He knows there are going to be plenty of carries in there for him. I think he appreciates the ability to be fresh and contribute. His approach during training camp, I thought, was very good last year and it was very good during OTAs. I wouldn’t expect to see anything different."

Our View:Childress wants Peterson to remain fresh, and the team previously stated that they will experiment with formations that feature both backs. Taylor should still hold decent fantasy value in 2008, namely in PPR leagues.
June 6, 2008
The Star Tribune reports that Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor are expected to begin experimenting together in formations that feature both running backs.

Our View:This is actually good news for fantasy owners. The last thing Peterson owners need is for the second-year back to be overused and breakdown. It also means that in deep leagues, Taylor definitely has value.
May 28, 2008
Chester Taylor remains away from voluntary workouts, but head coach Brad Childress says the running back will join the club on Monday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Our View:Taylor hasn't been around for a couple weeks, but we're not too worried. He remains a valuable fantasy handcuff to stud Adrian Peterson.
