ricanrockers 39 Posted December 18, 2013 Anyone starting him this week @ Cincy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foghorn Leghorn 0 Posted December 18, 2013 My alternatives are Danny Woodhead and DeAngelo Williams (Jennings is my other starter). So the answer to your question is "yes", unless I hear he's 50/50 to start over the next couple of days. Injury is the ONLY way Peterson leaves my starting lineup.

shamrock_94 0 Posted December 18, 2013 I'm on the fence about starting him. I also have Lacy and Forte. The bad foot & CIN Def look pretty scary, but he is AP after all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted December 18, 2013 With nothing to play for, the only problem is they might limit his snap and see what they have in their WRs by throwing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted December 18, 2013 With nothing to play for, the only problem is they might limit his snap and see what they have in their WRs by throwing it. My fears exactly. Â My alternatives are Bernard, Tate or Chris Johnson. Leaning toward Bernard but it's hard for me to see Peterson on my bench...ugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted December 18, 2013 Unlike teams like New England, the Vikes don't seem to have a problem with their players talking to the press. Peterson has said several times that he felt he was good enough to play last week. I'm sure we'll be hearing from him between after practice today and the weekend. He'll be interviewed or Tweet something about how close to normal he is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted December 18, 2013 Peterson is practicing today. Just saw it on Twitter. Sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted December 19, 2013 If AP is ready he will get his 25 carries. Play him with confidence. You can't bench the greatest RB in the nfl can you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noonan492 0 Posted December 19, 2013 I've got R.Bush and Z.Stacy but can't see benching AP if he declares himself ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47 Posted December 19, 2013 If Peterson plays, he plays for you!!  He ONLY sits for the likes of:  Jamaal Charles LeSean McCoy Matt Forte DeMarco Murray Reggie Bush  I would play any combination of these guys over Peterson... aside from that HE PLAYS!!

I've narrowed it down to Peterson vs Chris Johnson in standard scoring.  Win or Lose, I can't wait until all this fantasy is over so I can enjoy watching the games without worrying about stats!!!!

Challenger 72 Posted December 19, 2013 He didn't practice today, could be a rest day but def worth paying attention to his status the next few days. Maybe Toby end up being a sneaky play if AP is inactive the last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted December 19, 2013 I benched him @ Baltimore 2 weeks ago in favor of Vereen (PPR) and that worked out well. Â This week, neither is an ideal matchup however, I would think Vereen should be better this week. ADP might end up splitting more carries with nothing to play for.

JtmoneyJag 25 Posted December 19, 2013 Man, I'm in such a pickle. I know you "should" play AP, but his foot scares me. It is looking like MJD won't play and Todman has a very, very good match up against the titans. I am really considering playing Todman over AP in the Championship game!?!?

Beer22 2 Posted December 20, 2013 We start 2 RBs.... I have Reggie Bush, Giovanni Bernard, AP & Ellington. Right now I'm leaning towards Bush & Bernard. Â I know I should go with my first pick stud, but I'm worried to take a chance of AP being limited during the championship. Â Â Plus... I made the Championship in both of my leagues. In my other league I have to play against AP and I hate feeling conflicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted December 20, 2013 Â Plus... I made the Championship in both of my leagues. In my other league I have to play against AP and I hate feeling conflicted. I'm in the same boat with M. Lynch. I have him in one league and playing against him in another. Watching football this Sunday is going to be torture!!

Challenger 72 Posted December 20, 2013 Didn't know Cincy is actually a top 5 D, but can people actually sit AP if he is active? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted December 20, 2013 Didn't know Cincy is actually a top 5 D, but can people actually sit AP if he is active? The bigger question is we'll he be healthy enough to have a decent game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted December 21, 2013 The bigger question is we'll he be healthy enough to have a decent game. Good question. If memory serves me correctly, it is not to often AP leaves a game early on. In other words, if he is healthy enough to start, then he is a safe play. I could be wrong, but nevertheless, I don't see how ap could be benched unless it is for another killer stud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You aren't concerned that he is a game time decision and Toby Gerhart appears to be healthier? I know Todman is probably going to have at least 25 touches (had 29 last week). How do I bench that????
