Vikings RB Adrian Peterson shooting for 2,500 yards

Adrian Peterson 's confidence appears to be as high as ever after nearly a full season off. He's looking to set a career-high in rushing yards and this is coming from a guy that has already rushed for 2,097 yards in 2012. When asked about his expectations for this season, AP responded by saying, "I always keep the mark at 25 (2,500 yards). So if I get close to that, you know that's not bad."

Fantasy Analysis:

While it's always good to see a player set lofty goals for himself, fantasy owners would be thrilled with 1,500 yards let alone 2,500.
