Derrick Henry - done for the season...potentially.

RBBC - Mcnichols is not meant to get a full load

[RedzoneMonster 102]

TEN just signed AP

[easilyscan 553]

WOW!

[easilyscan 553]

Now the question becomes, did they add Peterson to back up McNichol, or vice versa ?

My arch enemy in my league, beat me to McNichol earlier today. Now he dropped McNichol, to pick up AP

That makes the most sense.

That was probably a mistake.  McNichol is probably the guy to have.  They'll probably split time, but AP hasn't done much in years.

A whole lot of 7-0 and 6-1 fantasy owners just took a gut shot this morning.  In the 3 $ leagues I’m in, the current #1 has him in 2 of the leagues, and the third was definitely trending towards the playoffs even though not #1 right now.

I'm really screwed in my main league.  I have the highest scoring team in the league, but I'm going to pull to just 4-4 if gano can hit a couple of FGs.

I wasn't really concerned until this injury.  Now I'm down Carson and Henry and looking at starting the likes of Gaskin and waiver wire fodder at runningback.

Not only can Mcnichols not handle a big load, the fact Peterson came so fast is notable. I may just pull out and wait for a bigger one to use my FAAB

They should win the division now.  And that gets them what?

A division championship and a playoff birth.  In the playoffs, everyone is 0-0.  No one ever thinks they're going to lose.

Well played sir

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

AP signing is hilarious.

[Gepetto 979]

I wish they just put a tight end in at the running back position to block during pass rush and throw to AJ Brown every play.

He rushed for 604 yards and seven touchdowns with the Lions in 2020 - that wasn't that long ago.  AP could have some value in that offense if he can carve out a goal line back role.

[weepaws 2,452]

I think this is going to be a mistake to own any of those Rbs.  

Titans will turn to the passing game more now, and a RBBC and I think Peterson won’t be the only rb they might pick up.  

[RedzoneMonster 102]

The fact is I’d “like” to have AP on my bench, but probably not worth the FAAB I’d need to spend on him.  

[AxeElf 787]

The fun thing is that with a 40+ point lead and most good RBs scoring around 15 pts per week, Henry will still lead all NFL RBs in fantasy points for the next three weeks.

[Gratefulegg1973 253]

In my long running keeper league I have/had CMac and Henry.  Thought I'd roll to another championship.  lol

[rotisserieking 34]

The Henry owner just dropped him. Playoffs are weeks 15 - 17 and his recovery is what, 6-10 weeks? And this is a keeper league! Think I will IR him.

No brainer in a keeper league.  I’d snatch him up even if zero chance of returning for the FF playoffs.

True.  And I don’t think any of us know who the NFL has Green Bay scripted to beat in the Super Bowl this year.

Won’t be Mahomes and KC and the sunshine band.

FREE JAVONTE!!!

I wish. Those two are my RB 3 and 4 on the Henry team. 

[LoOnAtIk 75]

As much as I like what I've seen from McNichols, I do think Peterson will get the majority of the carries and early down work. I'm optimistic that maybe they'll alternate series but I doubt it. 

The Titans have an excellent run blocking scheme which allows Henry to get into the secondary often untouched. Peterson has always been a 1-cut and go RB which is a perfect fit for how the Titans run the ball. 

Also, we can't forget that Peterson is a MEGA DIVA. He'd never sign anywhere to be a backup. If he doesn't get carries, he's going to make a stink and ask for a release like he's always done. 

My fear is the Titans have already promised him a hefty workload.

I think he’s a better rb right now on the Titans , he has about two weeks , and then they the Titans will start adding Rbs and it get messy.  

 

So it didn’t even take two weeks.

If they signed anyone but Peterson. Proof is in the pudding. Has there ever been a bigger diva RB?

Sadly I don't think McNichols is gonna get a fair shake. 

[weepaws 2,452]

He’s a deva, but he keeps getting a job.  

Plus I agree, seems like his style fits the system. It’s a good move for the Titans.

I think he will, but more on 2nd/3rd downs. Could have a very valuable passing role, given the Titans are almost certainly going to have to pass it more and AP has never been much of a pass catcher.

I think AP certainly fits what the Titans want to do, but then again he's 36 and been trying to get a job for 8 months and no one has been remotely interested. 

[SF Forty Niners 22]

Picked up Both

had room dropped Gano and MT 

[SF Forty Niners 22]

Amazing actually I put in for trade for D Henry last week owner said hey let’s talk next week - that was close
