7. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson is averaging 99.3 total yards and a touchdown per game.

8. DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys
DeMarco Murray is averaging 98.7 yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game. He has a nice matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikes have allowed 113.7 yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game. Monitor his availability, but he should be good to go this week.
