Newsbreakers
November 30, 2008
Chester Taylor rushed 10 times for 46 yards and one touchdown in Week 13, and also had four receptions for 19 yards.

Our View:Taylor now has a touchdown in consecutive games, and he is not a terrible play next week potentially getting clean up work vs. Detroit.
November 16, 2008
Running back Chester Taylor assures the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he is fine with his backup role to Adrian Peterson. "I'm a team player, and I just want to win," Taylor says. "People probably think [I'm upset] because when they first brought me here I was running the ball, and I started the whole year. Then they brought Adrian in so people figure any running back who's gone from first string to second string is going to be upset...He's helping our team win and that's all that matters now."

Our View:Taylor is accustomed to playing behind a star, as he was previously the caddy to Jamal Lewis in Baltimore. It's nice to see a veteran like this who understands the situation and isn't complaining about it. Fantasy owners should continue to hold Taylor as a handcuff to Peterson.
November 9, 2008
Chester Taylor compiled 113 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown in the Week 10 victory over Green Bay.

Our View:Taylor is only getting leftovers in Minnesota, but still makes for a serviceable flex option in PPR leagues. Over the past four games, Taylor has compiled 54 touches (37 carries, 17 receptions) and three touchdowns.
September 28, 2008
Running back Chester Taylor (foot) is active for the Week 4 game against the Titans.

Our View:The backup could see a decent amount of action due to Adrian Peterson's lingering hamstring injury. He is not a strong fantasy start, though.
September 26, 2008
Chester Taylor (foot) is listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Titans, according to The Pioneer Press.

Our View:Taylor should play though both he and Adrian Peterson are listed as questionable. Look for both to fill their standard roles this weekend.
