6 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 99 yards on 24 carries against the Cowboys on Sunday. He has now missed the century mark by a combined four yards in his last two games. Peterson hasn't reached the endzone since Week 3, but the main thing for his fantasy investors to focus on is just how much volume he gets out of the backfield. Washington's defense has quietly been one of the best in the NFL this season in terms of limiting opponents' scoring, and as a result the Redskins have been able to turn Peterson loose. He's averaging 21.5 carries in Washington's four wins, and will continue to be a strong fantasy asset as long as the defense remains effective.--Chris O'Reilly
