6 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has been battling a shoulder injury since Monday night, and his status for Week 6 remains up in the air. If he is able to suit up, he'll face a Panthers defense allowing just 95 rushing yards per game, good for eighth best in the NFL. These circumstances create a foggy forecast for Peterson's fantasy value on Sunday. On one hand, the Panthers have permitted quality backs like Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley to have fantasy success against them. On the other, a physical runner like Peterson nursing an injured shoulder could spell a limited workload against a quality run defense. Tread with caution here, and have a backup plan.--Chris O'Reilly
