MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Chicago

Adrian Peterson's "shrimp game" wasn't anything legendary, but he did finish with 110 total yards last week. He's now averaging more than 100 yards per game.

He'll face a Bears team this week that has surprisingly been good against the run. Chicago hasn't allowed a touchdown to a back since Week 2 and has been average when it comes to yardage. It may not be a dream matchup, but Peterson is still very capable of putting up big numbers. He's a must-start RB1 play this week.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Detroit

Adrian Peterson couldn't get anything going against Kansas City last week. He had plenty of opportunities, rushing 26 times, but finished with a mere 60 yards on the ground. He also had negative-3 yards on a lone reception.

This week, he'll look to dominate against the Lions, which is something he did in Week 2. Peterson had 192 total yards in that game. The Lions defense hasn't improved since their last meeting, so expect another big game. Peterson is a must-start option this week.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Kansas City
Adrian Peterson is off to a strong start this season, averaging 116 total yards per game, with three scores in his last two performances. He's coming off of a bye week into a decent matchup against the Chiefs. So far, there's really been no reason to doubt Peterson's skills. He's brought his best every week, and should be viewed as a must-start RB1 in Week 6.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Denver
After a disappointing Week 1, Adrian Peterson has had back-to-back monster games, finishing with 134 yards and 126 yards, respectively. In each game, he's had at least 20 rushing attempts.

He'll remain a strong option in Week 4 as the Vikings will need him to have success against Denver. The Broncos pass defense will be too strong for Minnesota to overcome, so they'll likely put the load on Peterson. He should be viewed as a RB1 option this week.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. San Diego

Adrian Peterson had a poor effort in Week 1, but bounced back in a big way for Week 2. The Vikings back finished with 134 yards on 29 carries and added 58 yards receiving. He hasn't scored a touchdown yet, but those should be coming.

He should have another big game in Week 3 against a Chargers defense that has mostly struggled against running backs this season. The Bengals were able to run wild last week, so there's no reason not to think the same could happen for Peterson. Peterson is one of the top backs in the league right now and is a must-start option every week. He's easily a RB1 option for Week 3.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Detroit

Adrian Peterson's return in Week 1 wasn't exactly a celebratory moment. He carried the ball 10 times and finished with 31 rushing yards. He also added three receptions for 21 yards to his stat line.

Peterson should be able to get his numbers back to what made him the best rusher in the NFL just a few years ago, as he is facing a Lions defense this week that gave up 150 rushing and receiving yards to running back in Week 1 against San Diego. Peterson's too good of a talent to leave your bench. He should be viewed as a RB1 this week.

MIN RB Adrian Peterson - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Francisco

Adrian Peterson is back after essentially sitting out last year due to off-the-field issues. The former Pro Bowl runner will again be the main focus of the Vikings offense and he'll face a depleted 49ers defense in Week 1.

By depleted we mean San Francisco lost a lot of talent in the offseason. They were fairly tough against the run a season ago, but we'll see how their revamped defense holds up against a talented back like Peterson. Fantasy owners should definitely view Peterson as a RB1 and a must-start player this week.
