Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This just in: Peterson is good. ... In addition to setting the single-game record, Peterson 200 yards rushing for the second time in one season, a feat no other rookie has accomplished. He scored two of his three touchdowns and gained 253 yards in the second half and reached 1,036 yards rushing for the season, putting him on pace to smash Eric Dickerson's rookie record of 1,808 yards set in 1983. Dickerson's all-time record of 2,105 yards in 1984 is in reach, too.
