The Facts:
Peterson says Eagles running back LeSean McCoy doesn’t really consider himself the best running back in the NFL. Peterson said on FOX Sports Radio that he found it funny when he saw
McCoy make that claim on ESPN. “I definitely started laughing,” Peterson said. “It was funny because when Stephen [A. Smith] asked him the question, you know, he kind of hesitated. If you watched it, you know he didn’t believe it when he said it. So I’ve got to tell the youngsters, ‘Next time, say it with your chest, man. Say it like you mean it!”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 29-year-old Peterson says the 25-year-old McCoy knows deep down who’s really the best. “He didn’t really mean it,” Peterson said. “If you watched – if you’ve seen his response – he didn’t really mean it. . . . But, you know, I’ve got to give the young guy credit, you know. There’s nothing wrong with having confidence in yourself.” From a fantasy football perspective, the younger McCoy has a lot going for him -- not the least of which is he's not coming off three straight years recovering from surgery. Peterson can't say the same. And valuing McCoy over Peterson heading into the summer isn't crazy. Even if Peterson thinks it is.
