Doug Martin was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October.
Martin led the NFL with 155.7 yards from scrimmage, 26.2 yards more than second place Adrian Peterson. Martin carried 58 times for 296 yards (5.1 YPC) and caught eight passes for 171 yards (21.4 yards per reception). The 31st overall pick has also been fantasy's No. 1 back over the past three weeks.
reread that sentence. Martin led the NFL with 155.7 yards from scrimmage. It does not say he led rookies. Martin was rookie of the month and the reason why is because he led the NFL in yards.

Why would Adrian Peterson be in second place for Rookie of the Month?

Since the second paragraph jumps from "rookie" to "led the NFL" - I think it is safe to assume they mean the entire NFL.
