The Facts:
Peterson's goals for 2008 include a 2,000-yard campaign, an improvement on the 19 catches he had last season and, perhaps, an MVP trophy. "I definitely feel like I can do it," Peterson said Thursday when asked about being voted the league's top player. "Anything is possible. Especially with how my mindset is. I set my bar high."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Vikings don't report to training camp for another two months, but it's clear Peterson has put plenty of thought into what he can do for an encore in his second NFL season. And as Star-Tribune staffer Judd Zulgad reminded readers, Peterson was on pace for a 2,000-yard rushing season eight games into his rookie year, but a lateral collateral ligament tear in his right knee suffered Nov. 11 at Green Bay forced him to miss two games. Peterson said Thursday the knee feels "perfectly fine."
