Cowboys could find a replacement for DeMarco Murray in Adrian Peterson

Legal issues aside, Adrian Peterson is an elite RB and could be signed at a lesser price. Also, in regards to the legal issues and family issues, Peterson would be closer to home and able to deal with these issues. Peterson is from Palestine, TX, only two hours away from Dallas.

Fantasy Impact:

Although Peterson missed the final 15 games of the 2014 season, he is still one of the top three running backs in football and his production is unquestionable. DeMarco Murray had an outstanding 2014 season, but Peterson's production is leaps and bounds better than Murray. Peterson is three years older than Murray, a huge factor for running backs, but he has shown that he is a threat both in the running game and receiving game and has 91 career touchdowns in 104 games. He has ran for over 1500 yards in a season twice and has double digit touchdowns in each full season he has played. Peterson would be a second or third round pick in fantasy drafts, especially with the run-focused Cowboys offense, and would seemlessly fit with the team.
