Ladies
& Gentlemen, He’s Back!
Okay, maybe it’s not time just yet to
throw a ticker-tape parade, but after Sunday’s dominant performance against the
Buccaneers, it becomes very difficult to doubt the Cardinal’s new running back
Adrian Peterson. Peterson looked like his old self, breaking tackles and
gashing the opposing defense. Unlike his arrival in New Orleans, he appears to
be a great fit for the Cardinals offense.
On a day when quarterback Carson Palmer
passed for 283 yards and tossed three scores, Peterson toted the rock 26 times
for 134 yards rushing and two scores. If the offense can find this kind of
balance and production on a weekly basis, Peterson is going to be a fantasy
monster in the second half of the season.
After 6 games this season Peterson is the
49th ranked fantasy RB in PPR (38 in standard format) with 215 yards rushing on
53 carries and two touchdowns (both came on Sunday). Against the Buccaneers he
tallied 25.40 fantasy points (in standard & PPR); folks he’s just getting
started.
In case you missed the announcement on
Sunday following his 27-yard touchdown run in the first quarter of the
Bucs-Cards game, Ladies and Gentlemen All-Day is back!
That's My Take.
