No. 6 Adrian Peterson vs. Green Bay

Peterson is the starter, right? Things are weird in Washington. They dominated the Cardinals but fell flat against the Colts. 1-1 is the story of the league for most. There’s a trio in Washington but in this matchup do I see anyone but Peterson finding some season form? Not really. Thompson is a strong back who usually makes the most of his carries but I think if anyone can make the most against Green Bay, it’s the former Oklahoma star.

What has to change for this matchup to work in your favor? Consistent play in the pass game. Spread the wealth and create space for the guys in the backfield.

If Smith can get going and start finding his favorite targets (I’m looking at you Jordan Reed) then I think Peterson is a good flex option to have. More about the other side of this matchup in a moment!
