New offense will make Peterson a more multi-faceted back

After holding him out for the entire preseason, the new Vikings coach staff is excited to unleash a more well-rounded and hopefully more productive Adrian Peterson when the regular season begins this weekend. The new regime plans on featuring the All-Pro more in the passing game and on runs to the outside instead of just inside the tackles. "I'm excited to see what the new and improved Adrian Peterson is going to look like when the opener starts," said Vikings' running backs coach Kirby Wilson. "I think this whole team is excited about what he could bring as a dual-threat player." (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
More diversity likely means even more production for Adrian Peterson in 2014. Peterson's two most successful fantasy seasons of his career were also the only two years that he had more than 40 receptions. He could conceivably catch 50+ balls this season and when you add that potential plus his track record, Peterson is definitely worthy of being the No. 1 overall selection in all fantasy formats.
