Adrian Peterson

Running back Adrian Peterson missed Wednesday’s practice with a quad injury.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson had his best game of the season in Week 6, but now finds himself on the injury report. This is a situation to monitor as the week progresses. Fellow running back Chris Thompson also missed practice on Wednesday. Wendell Smallwood would be the next man up if both backs end up missing this weekend's contest.

Washington running back Adrian Peterson rushed 23 times for 118 yards and caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson had easily his best game of the season and looked rejuvenated under interim head coach Bill Callahan's new approach. After being inactive in Week 1 and not seeing more than 12 carries in a game this season, Peterson saw 23 carries on Sunday. However, Sunday's performance came against the rebuilding Dolphins. Peterson might not find the same success over the next few weeks with the 49ers, Vikings, and Bills and their stingy defenses on tap.

Washington running back Adrian Peterson rushed seven times for 18 yards in the team's Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

After being inactive for Week 1, Peterson has just 108 yards rushing and one touchdown on 40 attempts over the last four weeks. With Washington falling behind early and often and Peterson not much of a factor in the passing game, his fantasy value remains limited.

Washington running back Adrian Peterson rushed 11 times for 28 yards and did not catch any passes in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact

With Washington trailing early and turning to the passing game, Peterson and the other running backs did not see a ton of volume or have much success. Through three games, Peterson has just 33 carries for 90 yards and one touchdown.

Washington running back Adrian Peterson rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught one pass for negative yardage in Monday night's loss to the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

With Washington getting behind early, Peterson's effectiveness was limited. Through two starts, he now has 22 carries for just 62 yards. He will look to find more success on the ground against the Giants and their struggling defense in Week 4.
