However, the young receiving talent has made up for Jordy Nelson's absence in a big way. Jones may not wow with numbers, but he's certainly an efficient option for fantasy day, one that you will regret leaving on the bench when Sunday afternoon comes along. Minnesota: Adrian PetersonYes, I'm going with the obvious pick in Peterson. Otherwise, there isn't much else to choose from. As he heads toward a 2, 000-yard campaign and maybe more, the Vikes will feed him carries as much as possible. Also, it helps Peterson's fantasy owners that he is their main source of offense. If they fall behind by a touchdown or two early on, they won't panic into the passing game. They will continue to run the ball no matter the situation. It is their best offense.
Key to Victory: Can the Vikings Secondary Slow Down the Packers Spread Offense? The Vikings defense has been a surprisingly stout unit this season. They kept the almighty Texans out of the end zone last Sunday, the first time since 2006. Considering the length of that streak, this Minnesota defense may be something special. It can truly make its mark as a notable unit by keeping Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense at bay.
The Packers will have something to play for on this Sunday as well. They can clinch a first-round bye with a win at the Metrodome. Plus, they looked in 2011 form with a 55-7 shellacking of Tennessee in Week 16. While the postseason intrigue looms over this matchup, Peterson has some individual milestones in his sights that could alter the NFL history books. The Vikings star needs 102 yards to break the vaunted 2, 000-yard mark, and 208 to break Eric Dickerson’s all-time record of 2, 105. Can Peterson catch Dickerson? Well, he did have 210 yards in their last meeting with the Packers. It will be an all-Vikings day at the Metrodome, or Minnesota's season finish in 2012.
