Adrian Peterson...do I start him?

Recommended Posts

As you can see by my sig...he is my best number 2 RB.

 

What do you think and if not, who do I start in a league w/ 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex?

Not in week 1. I would go with Jamal who is guaranteed to get 20-25 carries. Try to run Jamal until you see exactly what Peterson is going to get each week.

OK, I am a bit slow today! :unsure: That is a tough call you have Peterson splitting carries, Stallworth hoping Brady will look more to him, White batteling Brown and Young for carries, and a young Marshall with no defined role in Denver.

 

Looking at Matchups, I probably would go Peterson vs. Atlanta in the dome. Minny will want to run a lot to keep the pressure off Tavarius early in the year.

In my opinion, this is an easy one. You have the flex, where it will be to your advantage to start a RB with solid point potential (Peterson) over a solid WR in an offense that spreads the ball around a TON (Stallworth). Besides, I don't buy ANY of this crap about Taylor getting the majority of the carries. Taylor will start for no b/c he's the veteran, but Peterson will get the majority of the carries, with Taylor being sprinkled in, just like they did in the preaseason, when they were running with the first team offense and Peterson was tearing it up and getting the Goalline carries.

 

Bottom line - you drafted 3 solid backs. Give yourself the flex advantage by starting all 3.

 

Please see mine....THANKS!

Looks like you got it right in your sig. I always start the RB on close calls due to the fact that he touches the ball a lot more. Good Luck
