Fantasy Alert: Adrian Peterson Promoted to Seahawks' Active Roster Before 49ers Game

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated veteran running back Adrian Peterson from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Seattle signed Peterson on Wednesday amid major injury issues in its backfield. No. 1 back Chris Carson is out for the season, while both Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer missed last week's game because of injury.

That left Alex Collins and Deejay Dallas to split the rushing load against the Washington Football Team, and they could only manage 10 carries for 18 yards in defeat.
