Adrian Peterson, RB, Minnesota Vikings

Despite some ho-hum outings to begin the season, Adrian Peterson leads the league in rushing yards, and with the matchup he gets in Week 15, there's a really good chance he expands on his lead when he goes against the Bears' league-worst run defense. Yes, the Bears' run defense, per our schedule-adjusted numbers, is even worse than the Browns'.

While AP hasn't lit the world on fire in his two most recent performances, it's worth noting that just about every running back struggles to put up meaningful yardage against the Seahawks' third-ranked and the Cardinals' seventh-ranked run defenses, respectively. But going up against the Bears, who Peterson has rushed for over 100 yards against in five straight meetings, he should feast.

The game script is also aligning for a big day from Peterson as well. With the Vikings currently projected as four-point home favorites, there's a good chance the offense will run through Peterson, particularly in the second half as the team tries to kill clock and protect a lead. Lock in Peterson, our highest projected running back on Sunday, as the ultimate high-floor, high-ceiling play in your cash and tournament lineups.
