Peterson to have more receptions

Vikings' O.C. Darrell Bevell stated that he expects Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor to have less rushing attempts this season and more pass receptions, according to the Pioneer Press. The Vikings offense is looking to be more balanced this season, and Bevell added that he feels the team has two No. 1 backs with Peterson and Taylor.
Our View: Peterson ranks No. 2 among fantasy backs behind only LaDainian Tomlinson, and his scoring in PPR leagues looks to increase based on this news. Less carries could also keep him healthier over the stretch run of the season, when fantasy owners need him the most.
