Draft note

by John Paulsen

The ageless Peterson racked up another 898 yards on 211 carries in 2019, averaging 4.2 YPC or more for the 10th straight season in which he’s seen at least 200 carries. He’ll start the season behind Derrius Guice, who has played five games in two seasons, so Peterson could once again find himself in a two-down role if Guice can’t stay healthy.

DET RB Adrian Peterson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Atlanta Falcons
At Jacksonville last week, Adrian Peterson got the start and scored the team’s first TD but was outplayed by D’Andre Swift. The veteran carried 15 times for 40 yards, averaging only 2.7 yards per attempt, while the rookie eclipsed the century mark for the first time in his short career. Look for the duo to continue to share touches, with Swift having the bigger upside. Peterson is a risky play on the road Sunday against a good Falcons run defense.
