NFLPA files grievance on behalf of Adrian Peterson

The NFL Players Association has filed an expedited grievance with the NFL demanding that the league reinstate superstar Adrian Peterson. The Minnesota Vikings running back has been on the commissioner's exempt list ever since he was indicted on felony child abuse charges in Texas in September. Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge last week and now that his legal issues have been resolved the players union says that Peterson should be reinstated. The NFL stated that they were still waiting to receive some relevant information in the case, but that they are committed to making a determination as quickly as possible. (ESPN )

Fantasy Impact:

With the NFLPA advocating for his reinstatement, it's looking more and more likely that Peterson will soon be available to return to the field. Multiple reports claim that the majority of the Vikings' coaches and players are open to Peterson returning to the team, but it will ultimately come down to a management decision. Chances are that Peterson will be back in a Vikings uniform by sometime in December if not sooner. If for some reason he is still available on your waiver wire claim him immediately and if you already have him on your roster prepare to use him as soon as he returns to the field.
