Adrian Peterson named NFC Offensive Player of the Week: Fantasy implications
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. We break down the fantasy implications.
Matthew Stockman
In the last two weeks Peterson has rushed for 364 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries. The Vikings face the St. Louis Rams in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact: Peterson has been a fantasy beast since Week 7 and there’s no reason to think this will slow down. He’s the focal point of Minnesota’s offense and it will have to stay that way if the Vikings have any chance to reach the playoffs.
Peterson remains the No. 1 fantasy football running back. He is a must-start in all formats in Week 15 against the Rams.
