Adrian Peterson: Breaking records ALL DAY
OK, a few weeks ago we pondered whether Adrian Peterson was on his way to the best rookie RB season in league history.
After this Sunday’s record-setting 296-yard game, it’s starting to look like we can remove the “rookie” modifier and simply ask, is Peterson going to have one of the best SEASONS ever?
- 8 games
- 158 rushes
- 1,036 yards
- 6.6 yards per rush
- 8 rushing TDs
- 12 receptions
- 206 yards receiving
- 1 receiving TD
Pro-rating that would yield:
- 316 rushes
- 2,072 yards
- 6.6 ypr
- 16 rushing TDs
- 24 receptions
- 412 yards receiving
- 2 receiving TDs

I’m feeling absolutely SUPER about my decision to trade AD a few weeks ago for Roy Williams, straight up. Hopefully you haven’t been as myopic and are riding “All Day” Peterson to a fantasy crown.
