Congratulations are in order if you’re in the championship this week in your fantasy football league. Whatever the case, there’s a new leader of the running back pack this week as Adrian Peterson takes over the top spot as he chases Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record. This week he faces a tough Texans defense, but still should have a good week as the Vikings try to ride him to the playoffs.
