Good luck with your picks, ladies and gentlemen. Adrian Peterson - In an age when more and more NFL teams are going with a platoon of running backs, it's nice to see that the Vikings have rested most of the running game on Adrian Peterson Sam Koch Ravens Shirt , who last season led the league in rushing yards (1,760) and was second in rushing attempts (363). While the Vikings have gone to Chester Taylor in a pinch, it's safe to say that they'll rely on Peterson for the bulk of the work. And do you think that the Vikes signing Brett Farve will make them a passing team this season? Please. Peterson should have increased productivity as more work is thrown his way. While he only had 10 rushing touchdowns last season, he's still the class of the RB class. Michael Turner - The Atlanta Falcons are a team with a great trajectory, and Michael Turner will be a huge part of their rise to the top- if he can stay healthy and energetic. He carried the ball 376 times last year Bernard Pierce Ravens Shirt , the most of any rusher in the league, so he took quite a beating. Oftentimes rushers who get overworked come back lacking that extra burst of speed and power. Then again, last season he had 17 rushing TDs, the second most in the NFL, and so long as he's able to drive home six points when the Falcons are on the two yard line Matt Elam Ravens Shirt , he's going to be a high scoring part of your fantasy team.
