Adrian Peterson out indefinitely

The Minnesota Vikings have placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the NFL's exempt/commissioner's permission list until his legal case is resolved. The Vikings have reversed course from their Monday press conference, essentially barring Peterson from all team activities until his child abuse case is resolved. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

This is a huge blow to all Peterson owners, since his trial for child abuse charges would not start until 2015 at the earliest. Effectively Peterson is suspended for the year. A huge blow since most owners spent a top 5 pick on Peterson. If for some reason Matt Asiata or Jerick McKinnon are available in your league, pick them up now. Scour the waiver wire, trade for a replacement, basically do whatever you can to find another RB since it doesn't look good for Peterson to return in 2014.
