Adrian Peterson, Antonio Gibson Fantasy Outlook After Derrius Guice's Release

Ageless wonder Adrian Peterson could once again find himself leading the Washington Football Team backfield in 2020, a distinction that warrants attention in fantasy football circles.

The complexion of the Washington backfield situation shifted Friday night when the team announced Derrius Guice was released after being arrested on domestic violence charges. Guice only made five appearances across two years with the organization because of injuries.

Peterson, 35, becomes the favorite to start for the NFC East club, but a crowded depth chart and likely committee approach will make it difficult for any of the team's rushers to achieve high-end fantasy value.
