The Facts:
As NFL fans finalize their Fantasy draft boards, Peterson cautions against dropping his name from it. Asked by Paul Allen of KFAN on Wednesday whether it would be a mistake not to take Peterson in round one of a given fantasy draft. “I would think so,” Peterson said. ”The way I look at it, to each his own. ... This whole offseason, I’ve been hearing that. 'Adrian, should we take you? Will you be ready?’ Hey, I’ve got faith that I’m gonna be out there. Do you have the faith? That’s how you’re gonna get your reward.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Currently on the PUP list, Peterson also said he’ll be carrying the ball during the preseason -- and taking it into the end zone in Week 1 of the regular season, against the Jaguars. “Yes,” Peterson said, “I expect to score. ...” Peterson said that he was ready to get back to work the day after having surgery to fix a torn ACL suffered on December 24, and that he expects the Vikings offense to continue to lean on the running game. We believe the latter. The question is whether Peterson or Toby Gerhart is the man getting most of the carries early in the season. It's not that we don't believe in Peterson; we just believe in history more. And history suggests a slow start -- at best. That said, we're trying to keep an open mind and we'll certainly be looking for signs that Peterson is right (and we're wrong). So stay tuned.
