1.) He played the falcons

5.) Chester Taylor is going to come back and take a lot of his carries

6.) They dont want to overwork him

7.) Hes not going to catch a 60-yard untouched touchdown pass every week

You sounds like someone that's trying to trade for him...

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

How is being on the vikings a bad thing, they have spent alot of money on their line the last couple years, and they finally have played together long enough to gel.

Also the falcons actually limited oposing RB's to the 11th fewest points per game last year, certainly not stellar, but above average for sure.

 

I debunked 2 of your theories in 10 seconds with no research, so evidently you did no research.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

I don't own him but I would caution those that do based as you said, it was Atlanta. Which btw is the team my RB is playing (MJD) this week.

 

Incidentally, I live in Atlanta and watched the game. The defensive line got manhandled Sunday. That and they were out there (and probably will be all season given the current offensive scheme) way too long.

ok, the vikings line is good but how good is that line gonna be when they are trying to block 8 guys constantly?

 

and the falcons defensive line is undersized, they are made to be pass rushers not run stoppers.

Adrian Peterson = Cadillac Williams

 

remember Cadillac's rookie year when he ran for 150 and a TD in his first game? yeah.... look at him now.

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

To counter your arguments, I'll offer this simple observation:

 

I haven't seen anything but "stud" out of Adrian Peterson in his NFL career thus far. (I mean... Mad Brad wants to f--- him).

 

I find it ironic that in fantasy football... sometimes people forgot to look at the most important thing, the player themself.

Do you think alot of teams gameplanned against Jackson last year? He's better/more experienced this year than last year, so what logic leads you to believe that would be any more of a problem?

[NatronIsMean 0]

1.) He played the falcons

 

He plays a lot of 10-30 ranked defenses this year.

 

2.) Hes on the vikings

 

One of the best o-lines in the league, with a great defense and run-first philosophy.

 

3.) Defenses in the NFC north are very solid this year

 

Bears are an issue. How did Westy go against GB? 16 points in my format, which is fairly decent with no TD.

 

4.) Teams will stack the box because Tavaris Jackson cant throw

 

Just as they did last year, when Chester ran for 1200+

 

5.) Chester Taylor is going to come back and take a lot of his carries

 

Chester will take 1/2 of his carries max. This is an issue, but not an unknown.

 

6.) They dont want to overwork him

 

Wha?

 

7.) Hes not going to catch a 60-yard untouched touchdown pass every week

 

He's as good a bet as any RB in the league sans LT to break a big play. Not that exact play, but it's going to be happen.

 

Look, I hear ya. There are some concerns, but absolutely nothing new or anything that his owners didn't already know. As always, the key is who you could get for him, and whether or not you are in a keeper league. Since I am in a keeper, I'll take my chances...

I see your point about the Falcons defensive line, but how is there line any worse than Detroit or Green Bays. I just watched Lamont Jordan run all over the Lions. I would agree that you should always try to sell players high, but AP is a great player and with 4 total games against the Lions and Packers and the huge left side of the Viking's line, I would say that he will be just fine.

[BIGPLAYER06 0]

last year they had brad johnson, who defenses at least had to respect a little bit. Last year I owned chester taylor and it was frusterating because the passing game could do nothing and i saw a lot of 3 and outs from that offense.

[BIGPLAYER06 0]

lol this whole post is just me trying to justify my recent trade.

i traded adrian peterson and Lee evans for Laurence maroney and ROY williams

[papaluigi 0]

You may have traded away the next LT2...MAYBE

[dreadlocks34 0]

Chester Taylor ran for 1200 yards behind the same line with a quarterback who could not throw the ball more than 7 yards. Chester Taylor is no Adrian Peterson. Not close.

Chester Taylor ran for 1200 yards last year with brad johnson at helm, Tavaris Jackson in his second year is much more of a threat especially with a recieving core with a years experience and the addition of Sidney Rice.

 

Adrian Perterson > Chester Taylor...by far

 

even if chester takes 30-40% of the carries AD's # will end up very close to CT's #'s last year and that aint too bad for #2 RB + he will have more TDs the chester the molestor had last year(6 i think)

 

You just cant ignore his talent

[BIGPLAYER06 0]

who would you rather have Laurence Maroney or Adrian Peterson?

[Mack 1 6]

One of the most accurate tenets in fantasy football is having players with upside. AP fits that mode.

 

He simply has too much potential to trade away. Whoever gets rid of this guy now will be kicking themselves by Halloween.

[BIGPLAYER06 0]

i think laurence maroney and roy williams have more upside than AP and Lee Evans, thats why i made the deal.

i like the trade for you.

[dreadlocks34 0]

i like the trade for you.

If it is a redraft, I would tend to agree because even if Peterson and Maroney were considered equal, Roy Williams has a clear advantage over Lee Evans.

Part of the problem is that Tampa's O-Line is horrible.

this is all silly....

 

7 is obvious....that was a long play....

 

but he has Hutch...and a fast track in minny....

 

he has vince young potential...he can be quiet for awhile...but break a td at any time....

[Buck Naked 0]

I have him for relatively cheap in my dynasty/auction and will lock him up for three years at the end of this season.

How's that working for ya? I suggest living in reality rather than convincing yourself of a fantasy. But that's just me ;-)

I hope this was supposed to be sarcastic because in comparing these two players style of playing the running back position you might as well compare Brandon Jacobs to Eric Metcalf. I guess that would be about par for about 90% of the crap you have to wade through here nowadays to find the 10% that may have a use.

We all saw the same thing in college... We all saw the same thing in the pre-season, now we saw it in week #1... My god man if it walks like a duck... It must be a fockin duck... Dude it ain't a skunk, it's a duck... a freakin fast one too...

 

What will your excuses be when AD does the same schiot to Detroit in week #2... Then what... Get used to it, AD is gonna kick this leagues arse "All Day" long... Man, I hate haters... MB

[Kingstowne Dealers 14]

I think you made this post because you know you F'ed up by giving away AP for Maroney. You pretty much know what your getting with Maroney, he's one of many very good players on that team. But with AP, he's the ONLY good player on that team! Which makes him the priority, he's gonna get he touches! If Brady(Stat Hog) had it his way Maroney would never see the endzone.

 

He went for 160+ and a TD in his 1st game and you've decided he's peaked?!

 

I wish you were in my league.

[BIGPLAYER06 0]

you guys are right!! he looked like a god today against the lions........

[Mad Brad 0]

He had another 100 yrd total offense game... HIS 2ND FREAKING GAME EVER... You my friend are an idiot, now go away... Your complete stupidity is cracking me up... MB

Good thing MJD was playing Atlanta today. He sure lit it up.
