    I think he meant Adrian Peterson was Tier 1 and therefore a nobrainer to start in Fantasy Football.

    Omni,

    I start at tier 2, because I expect all fantasy owners that have Peterson to start him when he plays. I rate the rest of the players from week-to-week that might not be no-brainers.

    The rankings are based on their talent level along with how favorable their matchups are.

    Thank you for the comment.
