Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson isn't on pace to break records this season, but he's been extremely effective anyway. He's got 153 carries for 711 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground this season, with 161 yards and one touchdown through the air as an added bonus.
Fantasy football sit/start advice, Week 10: Adrian Peterson
Adrian Peterson had a huge game in Week 9 and is looking to continue the trend against the Washington Redskins in Week 10. We break down the fantasy implications.

Against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, Peterson tied his season high with 25 carries for 140 yards and a touchdown. He also had 140 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in the season, and a pair of touchdowns. He is an insanely good running back, and there's no reason to expect him to slow down.
The Vikings, however, are losing games. That’s because Peterson is just about all the offense the team has at this point. It showed in games over the past few weeks, as Peterson was held to 62, 28 and 60 yards in the three games leading up to the Dallas domination.
Fantasy Impact: Peterson and the Vikings will face the 3-5 Washington Redskins on Thursday. Peterson should have a good game, as the Redskins have the No. 22 rush defense in the NFL, allowing 116.6 rushing yards per game on average. Peterson is obviously a must-start in every game he plays in, but this is a heads up that he should be due for a particularly good game in Week 10.
