Sit: Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Opponent: at Green Bay Packers
The idea of starting a player of Peterson's, who you likely nabbed for free off the waiver wire, may be alluring, but you should look elsewhere for RB help. He was mostly ineffective in Week 15 (six carries for 22 yards and a fumble), he's averaging 1.9 yards per carry in three games this season, there's no reason for the Vikes to push his workload with the playoffs almost out of reach, the offensive line isn't opening any running lanes and the Packers are 12th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed. I would stay away from this situation even in the deepest of leagues. (Getty)
