We got Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice bash fantasy football owners have been as being a little mean to him for not producing at the start of the NFL season. Last season's leading rusher inside the NFL, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, agrees to some degree.


“I don’t wanna say it’s so worksome, but it gets worksome, however it gets worksome,” Peterson said, using the USA Today. ” You've got many personalities on the market. You've got individuals who's cheering yourself and folks that beat you down because you didn't score a touchdown or understand this level of yards. So, it's cool although it's a headache at the same time. It's really a headache in the event you allow it to go bother you, which I don't”

For that record, Peterson hasn't were built with a horrible learn to his season. he's rushed for 193 yards by 50 percent games with two touchdowns. That doesn't stop fans from expecting or wanting more from their fantasy football teams. It's the owners who are worse on players as opposed to fantasy football players who don't have Peterson.

“I’ve heard some crazy responses,” Peterson said. ”Not just through Twitter but just in person, like wow. Did I simply get threatened to rush for 100 yards? You would think or not it's much more the people that didn't ensure you get, but itPer-centu2019s those who maybe you have. I'm not only going about myself, I'm form of talking normally about other individuals having criticized the player they pick too. It's brutal for many guys. Then in a few days whenever you throw for 300 or 400 yards, you're the baddest thing smokin”. However that's just the way of the planet.”

 It requires a brave, brave man to threaten Adrian Peterson, he who crushes hands which has a single handshake, more than a simple fantasy football game.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has said that fantasy owners approaching him has become relatively frequent.

“It’s turn into a fairly common standard greeting,” Luck told To The Win.”I think it's on the websites for with ‘Hello,’ How are you currently?" and "Good luck this weekend" It's "Hey, I have yourself on my fantasy team." That's the landscape in the NFL. People like it also it's great for fans. Not so just the thing for players who've to know it. It's just there."
