The Facts:
Taylor said he expects to return next Sunday against the Jets, meaning the surprisingly productive Artose Pinner will be relegated to a lesser role, but it's highly likely he will remain on the active roster.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With Taylor sidelined by bruised ribs, Pinner ran for a career-high 125 yards on 29 carries and tied a team record held by eight other players by rushing for three touchdowns in the Vikings' 30-20 victory over Detroit at Ford Field. Pinner had been active for eight of the first nine games, but fell into disfavor after committing two costly penalties on special teams in the Vikings' loss to Green Bay on Nov. 12.
