Fantasy football owners are hoping Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson can return to his former self, and it looked unlikely after the first week.

Peterson is having himself a hell of a day in the second week of the season over, with already over 120 yards from scrimmage on the day and a touchdown that was reversed earlier in the game.

A big chunk of those yards came on this interesting play from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to Peterson, who busted it out wide to the right for a huge gain.

Vikings fans and fantasy football owners who weren’t ready to give up on Peterson are beaming today after that kind of run. This play was ruled a 49-yard touchdown reception, and at this point Peterson has rushed 16 times for 70 yards.
