Last year, the Vikings featured the biggest fantasy season by a rookie since, well, possibly ever. Can Adrian Peterson turn in another incredible year, or was 2007 a fluke?

QUARTERBACK: Tavaris Jackson is back at the helm for the Vikings, after establishing himself as a very average QB in 12 games last year. With Minnesota’s running game, Jackson simply needs to be above average. Even with the addition of Bernard Berrian, I don’t think this will be Jackson’s breakout season, so choose him as a solid QB3, possibly a low-end QB2.

RUNNING BACKS: If Adrian Peterson stays healthy, expect another monster season, with 1,500 yards if he plays all 16 games and 15 TDs. He’s the second-best running back in the draft, behind LaDainian Tomlinson. Chester Taylor is trickier to gauge — will he still put up decent numbers as Peterson’s complement? He’s a great handcuff for Peterson, maybe too good if he cannibalizes a few TDs. Otherwise, he’s an RB3 or RB4, with the knowledge he could become a Peterson’s backup instead of complement in 2008.

WIDE RECEIVERS: The addition of Berrian will help Minnesota’s passing game. Expect similar numbers to what he put up in Chicago, meaning he’s a low-end WR2 or a very solid WR3. Sidney Rice and Bobby Wade are late-round WR5s at best.

TIGHT ENDS: Visanthe Shiancoe and Jim Kleinsasser will not produce much on the fantasy end, not with the Vikes’ running game and the bolstering of the WRs. They are no better than TE3s, meaning they are backup fantasy tight ends’ backups.
