Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier was encouraged by Peterson's participation in practice this week, saying he should be "fine" on Sunday. In Week 16, Peterson and the Vikings will take on the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Analysis: Peterson should look to continue his remarkable comeback season against a Houston defense that has been hurting as of recent. Everything on the Vikings offense runs through Peterson, so he should get his touches and yield high production this week.
Peterson will continue to be a sure-fire RB1 for owners in the fantasy finals. Make sure he’s in your lineup this week when you’ll need him most.
