Fantasy Football: One Potential Cut Candidate for Every NFC Team

Arizona Cardinals - Adrian Peterson

Cap Savings: $2,881,250

Regardless of whether he was in a New Orleans Saints or an Arizona Cardinals uniform in 2017, the Adrian Peterson we saw was a shadow of the player he once was. His rush attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns were his lowest in any season in which he played more than three games. A whopping 25.3% of his total season yards came in his Cardinals debut, but after his two touchdowns in that game, he never found the end zone again.

Peterson's -0.19 Rushing NEP wasn't just a bad; it was the lowest clip of all 47 running backs with at least 100 rushes. With David Johnson coming back on top of Peterson's mundane output, the Cards are fully expected to move on from the aging all-time great.
