Adrian Peterson (RB, ARI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 37% of leagues

ANALYSIS: The Cardinals worked out a trade with the Saints to bring running back Adrian Peterson in, and hopefully inject some life into their ground game. It's obviously bad news for Chris Johnson, but PPR riser Andre Ellington shouldn't be affected for fantasy owners.

Peterson clearly wasn't a fit in the pass-happy Saints offense. He may not be a great fit in the desert, either, but at least he'll have more opportunity. For that reason alone, he should be added in all fantasy leagues. Opportunity is always key for a player's fantasy value - and Peterson should see plenty of touches now.

Keep expectations in check, though. Peterson was averaging a paltry 3.0 yards per carry on 27 attempts in the Big Easy, and he'll have to learn a new offense on the fly. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds, but he should be stashed on all fantasy rosters for now.
