Adrian Peterson Fantasy: Peterson Has 70 Rushing Yards and A TD At Half

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson had a solid first half against the Green Bay Packers. At the half, Peterson has 11 carries for 69 yards, including a 29-yard run and a 1-yard touchdown run.

The league's best running back had a tall order ahead of him as his Vikings hosted the Green Bay Packers. If Week 6 against the Bears was any indication, he does not do well — 12 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, thankfully — when the Vikings are playing from behind.

Before last week's atrocity, Peterson's worst performance was in Week 5 against the Chiefs, when he had 23 carries for 80 yards. He's a ridiculously reliable back you can depend on for, minimum, a solid output. If he's having a good day, well, enjoy putting another notch in the win column.

For more on Peterson and his matchup with the Packers, check out Vikings blog, Daily Norseman, and our Packers blog, Acme Packing Company. Also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football news and video highlights of the best Week 7 action.
