Adrian Peterson Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

The Derrius Guice injury had a trickle-down effect on the rest of the depth chart, though it's odd to see them sign Peterson. He's a two-down back who has a skill-set similar to Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine. There was a time where it wouldn't have mattered who was on the depth chart, but that time is long gone, as Peterson has totaled just 601 yards on his last 193 carries, which amounts to just 3.12 yards per carry. He does walk onto a team with a solid offensive line, something that wouldn't have been said about Arizona's last year. In his preseason debut, Peterson looked spry, totaling 56 yards on 11 carries. While it's just one game, he was the clear-cut starter running with the first-team offense, giving him RB3/flex value in fantasy leagues.
