weepaws 2,485 Posted August 25, 2018 I'm not saying he's going to be a fantasy team centerpiece. He's going to be heavily game-script dependent. He may not last six games based on his recent injury history. But is he worth a draft pick, sure? I'd like to think that AD didn't sign with a team for the hope he was going to be the main early-down back, right? I currently have him at #102 on the PPR Big Board at RB40. In other words, roughly the same place I have Marlon Mack, who is hurt now and likely stuck in a committee when he returns. I'm open to having my mind changed if he looks terrible this weekend. Are you? At RB40, it's nice to get three or four useful games out of a guy. I think he still has enough to do that. I’m not going to change my opinion, but I’m here to say he did loook good. I mean 5 plus yards per rush, is 5 plus yards per rush. So I’ll give him this, great job tonight or last night A Peterson. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted August 26, 2018 He's absolutely worth a draft spot late, even if you're not a fan or believe in him. If he performs well just one more time, his name value alone makes him a valuable bargaining chip in trades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 26, 2018 He went round 6 in a ppr draft today. Pretty big reach unless he holds up and dominates carries. It was his only reach too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted August 26, 2018 He will get a decent amount of TDS this year. I think your 4th rb its fine. 3 is too risky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdon 28 Posted August 26, 2018 I took him in the 10th round of a non ppr league monday... this league has 12 teams and we play 2rb and 2 flex so running backs go early and often. I like it, if he plays cool. if he sucks, well it was worth the try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 1, 2018 Looking more and more like the late investment in ADP could pay some good dividends, particularly early in the season......and if he happens to hold up and produces.....well, hold the press. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/redskins-adrian-peterson-primed-for-lead-role/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 10, 2018 Lotta people dissing him in this thread. Anyone changing their minds, or consider him a one week wonder? Have a lot of stock in him, since he was so cheap (RB cheapskate, admittedly). To me, he is a hold or sell high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 10, 2018 I think he makes a fine sell high. He did similar his first game for Zona last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,615 Posted September 10, 2018 He did just enough to make me really happy I have Thompson. I think Thompson is a RB2 PPR everyweek, and AP is a RB2 non PPR every week, and a RB2/Flex in PPR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted September 10, 2018 I think Thompson is a RB2 PPR everyweek, and AP is a RB2 non PPR every week, and a RB2/Flex in PPR Agreed on Thompson, I would wait and see on AP. I traded for him last year when I was in a tight spot (thanks, in part, to Thompson going down), after he'd had I think two good games...those were his two good games of the season. He looked old and tired after that. I'd want more proof this year before I relied on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted September 10, 2018 big difference though imo Skins Oline is good, they should always be in position for a short TD at least Well...they'll move the ball better, yeah. But I don't know that it'll translate to short TDs. Might just as easily translate to a 13 yard Thompson TD from farther out. Not saying you're wrong, just saying I'm glad I've got the one and don't have to rely on the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t see how anyone would truly trust starting him most weeks. So many who do own him missed out this week I would bet m reality is in a year, where people have lost Burkhead, Cook, Powell, Hyde, Fournette, Lynch, Ajayi, Freeman while others start Mccoy, Barber, Breida, Carson, Drake, Crowell, I am sure I am missing a few, but AP has been an absolutely solid RB2 and must start I mean really after Gurley, Barkley, Gordon, Hunt, Zeke, Kamara, Connor, and Mccaffrey, who do you trust? AP was the no 19 back this year in my PPR, thats solid RB2, and he will move into RB1 territory after this monster game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,485 Posted October 29, 2018 Did you start him week 2. In non ppr he had five points. How about week five and six 4 non ppr points week 5 and 9 week six. Did you start him then. Week seven he had 10 non ppr points did you start him then, I bet you only started him week 1 and 3 and 8. Mmm I bet I’m right many didn’t start him.

After reading your post I did some in depth looking into Peterson’s season. I I’m wrong, he has put up rb2 numbers. He’s had three really good games and a couple of bad ones, but after checking my numbers he’s a high rb2. So I apologize to you all.

Now this I can appreciate We all know that he could fall apart at any given time at his age, but are just enjoying the ride. Heck, he's outscored McCaffery so far in non-ppr.

Ehlana 25 Posted November 1, 2018 He wasn't really free was he? Went 97th overall in my 8 team league. I mean not expensive by any means (drafted as a bench player and putting up starter quality numbers) but it's not a WW pick up like Kamara last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took him at 8.08 in my 12-team league (took Kamara as my 1.05). Adrian has been nothing short of amazing, running with a chip on his shoulder. A lot of "experts" are eating a healthy serving of crow on All Day. He IS the Redskins' offense. On pace for 1686 total yards and 11 TDs. Truly remarkable.
