NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Redskins are "planning" to designate RB Adrian Peterson inactive for Week 1. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise here. Redskins HC Jay Gruden suggested that Peterson would be a healthy scratch earlier in the week. It looks like Derrius Guice will be handling Washington's early-down workload while Chris Thompson will be in his usual third-down/ pass-catching specialist role. If the Redskins dress another back, it could be Wendell Smallwood as he could also contribute on special teams.
