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.

Kerryon Johnson to split carries with Adrian Peterson

Lions RB Adrian Peterson will get the start Sunday against the Panthers, but Kerryon Johnson is going to split carries.

Fantasy Impact:

The Lions, of course, do not have D’Andre Swift due to injury, so AP is back in the lead, but the Lions won’t give up just yet on Johnson. If there’s a week for these backs to shine, it’s this week against a porous run defense of the Panthers. Peterson looks like a solid RB2 this week and Johnson could be considered in your flex spot.

DET RB Adrian Peterson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Houston Texans
Even without D’Andre Swift to garner carries at Carolina last week, Adrian Peterson was held to seven rushes for 18 yards, sharing the backfield with Kerryon Johnson. In the shutout loss, the entire Detroit offense couldn’t get things going all day, totaling less than 200 yards. Swift should return from the concussion protocol on Thursday, which relegates Peterson to second string. Be sure to monitor the injury report though, as the veteran could make for a sneaky start against Houston’s terrible run defense.
