Is Adrian Peterson a top 5 pick?
Dorian “The Trashman” Colbert, Rosterwatch.com

He may be down, but you can’t count him out. Adrian Peterson is staking his claim as top dog amongst NFL running backs with a week 1 return at full strength in mind. This sounds insane coming off of two devastating knee injuries that most people are still not full strength after a year much less nine months, as in Peterson’s situation. His trainers don’t disagree with him. According to the team physical therapists, AP is of a different ilk than us mortal men, and I’m inclined to take their word. With healing powers that would make Wolverine jealous, Peterson could pay dividends for fantasy owners that aren’t afraid to pull the trigger. If you don’t manage to get Arian Foster or LeSean McCoy in your drafts this year, take a chance on Peterson. I know it is not a popular opinion, but I believe AP has the highest ceiling of any runner outside of that group.
