Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he feels like he's at 95 percent heading into this weekend's game with the Indianapolis Colts. Peterson (via 1500ESPN.com) also says there is no target for the number of carries that he will get this week. Peterson said he felt some tightness in his patella last weekend but it was nothing to be alarmed about.

Fantasy Impact: This supports what coach Leslie Frazier said earlier in the week about Peterson being pretty close to his old form. Peterson was a fantasy surprise against the Jacksonville Jaguars with two touchdowns and 84 yards on 17 carries. He is a No. 1 fantasy running back this week against the Colts.
