This is HUGE & you can bet that some guys in your 2007 Fantasy draft won't be aware of it...... HM

	Chester Taylor to share carries in 2007?
	Chester Taylor - RB - MIN - Mar. 28 - 9:40 p.m. ET
	Vikings head coach Brad Childress says he wants to find someone to "split carries" with Chester Taylor this season. "I think it will be more of our intention to be able to split the carries with him," Childress said. "Give him fresh legs if we can." Whether this means using Ciatrick Fason or drafting a back in April is uncertain. Artose Pinner, Wendell Mathis, and Mewelde Moore are also on the roster. Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune

	Chester Taylor carted off field in practice
	Chester Taylor - RB - MIN - Jul. 31 - 11:31 a.m. ET
	Chester Taylor was carted off the field Tuesday after suffering an apparent forearm contusion. Taylor reportedly "appeared to be in a lot of pain" after taking a post-catch hit, but Brad Childress downplayed the injury as nothing more than a contusion. We might not know the severity for a day. Any major injury to Taylor would greatly help Adrian Peterson's stock. Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Chester Taylor - RB - Vikings

Chester Taylor (bruised oblique) went through a limited practice on Thursday, as expected.
Vikings coach Brad Childress says Taylor's status is uncertain for their bout with Detroit. "He’s coming along," Childress said. "Limited. Coming along." Childress also said he doesn't plan to take any chances with Taylor. Don't count on him playing and expect Adrian Peterson to get close to a full load. Sep. 13 - 5:05 p.m. ET

	Chester Taylor returns to practice Wednesday
	Chester Taylor - RB - MIN - Sep. 19 - 3:04 p.m. ET
	Chester Taylor (hip/oblique) returned to practice Wednesday. It's unclear whether Taylor put in a full workout, but he did practice during the media portion of practice. Chester was limited throughout last week. Because Adrian Peterson didn't stand out in Week 2 against Detroit, Taylor may still have a grip on his starting job and third-down duties.

Chester Taylor - RB - Vikings

Vikings coach Brad Childress expects Chester Taylor to play in Week 4.

Taylor has missed consecutive games with a hip injury. "He did some things pregame (Sunday)," Childress said. "I just didn’t feel like he was quite there and that he could be viable (in the game)." Taylor should reclaim his third-down role when he returns, but it's uncertain whether he'll return as a starter. Sep. 24

Chester Taylor - RB - Vikings

Chester Taylor will start over Adrian Peterson in Week 4.

"Adrian will be in after him," Vikings coach Brad Childress said Friday. Taylor will be active, but is a weak flex consideration against a strong Packers defense. Peterson would be a decent play in non-PPR leagues because he figures to get the goal-line carries and possibly more action overall. Sep. 28 - 3:27 p.m. ET

	Bucs interested in Chester Taylor
	Chester Taylor - RB - MIN - Oct. 2 - 12:29 p.m. ET
	The Tampa Tribune reports that there is talk in Minnesota of a deal that would send RB Chester Taylor and T Bryant McKinnie to the Bucs. At 3-1 the Bucs are in win-now mode and need help after injuries to Cadillac Williams and Luke Petitgout, but deals of this magnitude in the NFL rarely occur, especially in season. The Vikes could afford to part with Taylor as rookie Adrian Peterson has been strong out of the gate. Source: Tampa Tribune
