The Minnesota Vikings enter today with their star running back Adrian Peterson listed as questionable, but the team, fans and fantasy owners should not be worried. If Peterson is to be believed, he will be just fine for Sunday’s match up against the Green Bay Packers despite being listed as questionable.

Peterson is dealing with a groin injury, but he told reporters that he will be okay and he fully expects to be suited up for the rivalry game.

From Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:

#Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (groin) is listed as questionable. He plans to play, telling reporters it’s not that severe. “I’ll be OK”

Without Peterson in the line up, the Vikings would have a hard time upending the Packers.

However, if Peterson is able to go, the Vikings could find themselves playing spoiler on Sunday as they face off a Green Bay team that is being led by former practice squad quarterback Scott Tolzien.
