The New Orleans Saints have reportedly traded running back Adrian Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals for a conditional draft pick, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN.
For fantasy players who have been holding onto Peterson despite his non-existent production, the news should come as a major relief. While Peterson was mired in a running-back-by-committee situation in New Orleans—and was clearly third in the pecking order behind Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara—he should instantly ascend to top of the depth chart in Arizona, as the team has gotten minimal production from the position since David Johnson's injury.
