Adrian Peterson Limited Thursday
4 years agoDetroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (abdomen) was limited in practice on Thursday. Peterson wasn't listed on the injury report on Wednesday, so this is something to watch for the aging future Hall of Famer. He had 12 touches in the Week 7 win, carrying the ball 11 times for 29 yards. He also caught one pass for one yard. The 35-year-old veteran is still seeing plenty of touches each week, but he just hasn't been producing and could be on his way out as the team's lead back in favor of rookie D'Andre Swift. Against a Colts Defense in Week 8 that is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs, AD is a poor starting option in 12-team leagues and is an uninspiring RB3/flex in deeper leagues.
