FF Today's Take:Coming into the season Peterson was coming off major knee surgery and fantasy owners were passing on him in the early rounds of drafts while discounting him in auctions. The Vikings franchise player posted one of the best fantasy seasons from a RB in a long time and was the clear front-runner at his position in 2012. Barring any unforeseen circumastances, AP will vault back into the top three fantasy players for the 2013 campaign.
