Fantasy Impact:
Adrian Peterson was expected back this week - but those plans have changed. That's why Minnesota went out and claimed Tate, adding him to a backfield that already consists of the talented rookie running back Jerick McKinnon, and the less talented Matt Asiata. Tate could take over as the short-yardage back, in addition to splitting reps between the 20s with McKinnon, but for now you probably can't consider him anything more than a RB3.
