Quick Hits: Chalk up week one to rust or whatever you want, but look for Adrian Peterson to bounce back this week against a division rival that he has always destroyed…I have Matt Forte ranked so high in PPR because I think he will catch a ton of balls this weekend. The Arizona Cardinals are very stingy when it comes to rush defense, however they gave up a number of big plays in the passing game to the Saints’ running backs last week…Carlos Hyde ran all over Minnesota’s defense last week, and I’m interested to see how he will do this week against Pittsburgh, but I am more interested to see what Ameer Abdullah can do against that same Vikings defense, to follow up his strong week one…PPR star Danny Woodhead could be in line for another big game this weekend against Cincinnati, plus he also ran the ball 12 times last week which is more than usual. Hopefully that trend continues.
