    LaDainian Tomlinson- 198 yards 4 TDs

    Larry Johnson- 119 yards 1 TD

    Maurice Jones-Drew: 184 Total Yards 2 TDs

    Reggie Bush is already having his best game of the season.

    And finally...Adrian Peterson- 224 Yards 3 TDs!!! :eek: As much as I hate everything OU, Peterson is already one of the best backs in the NFL! He has all the tools to be GREAT, not good, GREAT.

    Do yourself a favor and watch this...http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d803425c4

    Yup..finally. I'm glad I took Steven Jackson with the second overall pick in my fantasy league... :rolleyes:



    ....and picked up Peterson from the waivers after week 2 and started him this week. :D

    After all his hype, and having a 100 yard rushing performance and a 60 yard receiving TD in week one, Peterson was still on waivers after week two? Sure you didn't pick up the wrong Adrian Peterson? ;)

    After being in bye week hell...Peterson may have single handedly saved my week. Unfortunately, I'm playing a guy w/ Brady and Edwards.

    I think LT just jumped to 1st in the league in rushing TDs right? All in one game! Peterson is everything I expected, I wish he was on a team that got TV time.

    AP is the man! The guy will be the RB of the future if he can stay healthy.

    peterson is ridiculous. nothing against okoye who looks good, but if we had peterson we're likely undefeated.

    I am so glad I took a flyer on him late in my fantasy draft, he has been starting for me since week 2. I only wish I had the marbles to start him in week one. Also, as a vikings fan, its nice to have at least one good skill player. . . . . . :(

    AD was ridiculous today. Those highlight runs against the Bears were crazy.

    OT: Why do teams punt to Devin Hester? It's just plain dumb.

    Its ridiculous. That guy is going to break the all-time return TD mark by the end of his 2nd season.

    Thats about the equivalent of Adrian Peterson rushing for 100 touchdowns in 2 seasons.

    Its just unheard of. It simply does not happen. This kid is superhuman, the Mike Jordan of kick returns. He makes Dante Hall look like Arsenio Hall.

    Claiming off waivers? Fliers???? Wow, he went in the second round in my league and I was pissed that someone took him. I still came away with Reggie Wayne in that round but I was not happy that someone took him before I got a chance.
