6 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has made good on two games in which the team was able to lean on him, rushing 45 times for 216 yards and three touchdowns in such contests. There will continue to be weeks going forward when the Redskins have the ability to do that, but Week 5 in New Orleans does not figure to be one of them. Peterson received just 11 carries in Week 2 when the Redskins trailed the Colts for the whole game, and a matchup with the high-flying Saints could force Washington to abandon the run on Monday night. Peterson isn't utilized in the passing game enough to sustain a quality fantasy performance here, and with only two teams on bye, you probably have safer options.--Chris O'Reilly
