Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was a full participant in Wednesday practice and as noted earlier, looks very close to being the Peterson that has elite fantasy status. While most cautioned against starting Peterson in week 1, he ended up with 18 touches and two touchdowns with 87 total yards.

Fantasy Analysis: Percy Harvin had five carries, but no other running back besides Peterson had a carry in the game, showing that he is very much the primary back and seems to be silencing doubters that anyone could come back that quickly from an ACL injury. This week he draws a Colts defense that allowed 80 yards to Matt Forte in week 1 and 3 total touchdowns on the ground between Forte and Michael Bush, so Peterson should be fine as an RB1 in week 2 for fantasy leagues.
