5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson went for 78 yards on 13 carries against the Cowboys to end the 2019 season. The best way to recap his second year with the Redskins would be to say that he did the best he could with what he had. Peterson served as Washington's featured back for most of the year, with oft-injured youngster Derrius Guice struggling to stay on the field. For the most part, he produced at around the clip you'd hope for from a 34-year old running back with the football equivalent of 150,000 miles on his engine. On a better team, the level of opportunity Peterson saw on a weekly basis may have yielded a mid-range RB2 fantasy season. It's clear that Peterson still has enough left in the tank to be a serviceable contributor in the NFL, and the Redskins possess a team option on him for 2020. With Guice missing nearly all of his first two NFL seasons due to injury, it wouldn't be astounding to see the Redskins keep Peterson around to help out in the backfield, assuming he wants to continue playing.--Chris O'Reilly
