Adrian Peterson just showed how important the fantasy football waiver wire can be more than a month into the NFL regular season.
After wasting away with the New Orleans Saints and seeing many fantasy owners drop him outright, Peterson erupted for 25.4 points in Week 6 during his debut with the Arizona Cardinals on 134 yards and two touchdowns.
A hit like Peterson won't happen every week—but those who prepare like it will often go on to make significant noise in the fantasy playoffs, if not championships.
The initial Week 7 outlook doesn't offer much in the way of big names compared to last week, but it does offer serious potential value for those who know where to look.
