The Vikings intend to give Week 17 goal-line carries to TE/FB Jim Kleinsasser, who will retire after the season.
This is relevant for owners who play in Week 17. If the Vikings get down to the one-yard line, Kleinsasser will get the rock over Toby Gerhart. It's situations like this that make Week 17 a week to avoid in fantasy leagues.

Vikings TE Jim Kleinsasser confirmed that he plans to retire after the 2011 season.
The Vikings had interest in bringing back the 34-year-old impending free agent, but Kleinsasser wants to walk away "with two legs that work great and my head is still intact." A team leader and plus blocker, Kleinsasser has 192 career receptions for 1,688 yards.

There is reportedly a "growing belief" that impending free agent TE Jim Kleinsasser will retire after the season.
Kleinsasser turns 35 in January, and his offensive role continues to decline. After spending his entire career in Minnesota, it's believed that Kleinsasser has no interest in moving his family to another city if the Vikings don't want him back.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities
Vikings TE Jim Kleinsasser could be out of a roster spot in Minnesota after the team drafted Kyle Rudolph in the second round.
Kleinsasser, 34, has caught just 17 passes over the last two seasons and averaged a paltry 8.1 yards per catch. He has one touchdown since 2003. Kleinsasser is due a $3 million salary, and the Vikings' roster needs to get younger. Rudolph will be Visanthe Shiancoe's running mate in two-tight end sets. Versatile TE/FB Jeff Dugan could fill Kleinsasser's old role.

Christian Ponder
Sidelined
GM Rick Spielman gives Christian Ponder "just as much credit for getting us in the playoffs" as Adrian Peterson.
Spielman was referring specifically to Ponder's play when the Vikings won their final four games of the regular season. During that time, he completed 60.6 percent of his passes and threw just one interception, but averaged a mere 157.5 yards per game and totaled four passing scores. These comments are another case of Spielman trying to pump up Ponder's confidence. He's ready to ride or die with his 2011 No. 12 overall pick.

Adrian Peterson
Sidelined
Adrian Peterson said his goal for this season is to run for 2,500 yards.
Peterson rumbled for 2,097 last season even though he was coming off a knee reconstruction and playing through a sports hernia. In order to reach 2,500 yards, he'd need to average 156.25 yards per day over 16 games. It's not going to happen, but Peterson is set up for another run at Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 yards. Lead-blocker Jerome Felton and mauling tackle Phil Loadholt are both back and Peterson will be 21 months removed from his ACL tear by the time Week 1 rolls around.

Vikings WR Greg Childs (torn patellar tendons) has resumed sprinting and cutting.
"All the necessary things I need to be doing, I'm doing now," Childs said. "I still do my cuts and my runs full speed. There is no change in the way I run or the way I play. My routes are still the same." Despite the progress, Childs admits he's not close to 100 percent. The Vikings are operating under the assumption Childs "may never play a meaningful down in the NFL." So should fantasy owners.
