Adrian had 13 touchdowns in 12 games and aprox 1000 yards prorated that puts his production at 17 touchdowns and over 1300 yards. Not bad for an overthehill RB. PS he is on pace to be one of the all time greats.

Bob Nelson jr, who is the WNBA Champions? And who was the last player suspended for a misdeminor? And whats this 40% of the season for the pup list stuff. If your going to post stuff, at least have some theeth to it. And the Vikings got CHEATED!! out of the NFC title three years ago and if i’m not mistaken the CHEATES won the Super Bowl.

More daydream fantasy from the land of make believe.

Peterson does not play on third down. He can’t pass block and can’t run a route or catch the ball.

Missing 40% of the season on the PUP list means missing a lot of 1st and second downs.

His production has been declining and he is getting old and over the hill.

He still has to go to court because of his criminal arrest. A suspension would further limit his chances of getting on the field to participate.

Talking fantasy football is all they have for sports talk in Minnesota. No Minnesota team has won more than their division for decades.

I hope for the Vikings sake he will play week 1, because he is the only good thing about that joke of a team. Maybe they will make good on next years #1 pick in the draft, But I doubt it.

He wasn’t even a top 10 scoring back last year. Why would he be after injury?
_____

He only played 12 games last year. He had 13 touchdowns.

Why does he care what my fantasy football league does in the draft?

I wouldn’t take him until round 4. He will be long gone before then. He won’t have a good year.

i wouldnt take that risk, or take jamal charles in the 1st round either, it takes at least 2 years to recover from acl and these guys only have months since, really any rb is risky, cause so many share carries, its almost wise to pick a star wr like megatron or fitz over a rb nowadays

Love the confidence. AP comeback player of the year thanks to an upgraded line.

ill pick him in the second round if he is still there. WR are almost more valuable than RBs in my league anyway.

Remember he plays in a division that doesn’t play very good defense

He won’t be taking it into any endzone vs that stout Jags D.

Good thing he has his mind on things that really matter – like fantasy teams – as opposed to something like…hanging onto the ball.

Easy for AP to say, it’s not his entry fee!

I let others in my league pick him. Guys coming off ACL always under preform.

Unless Peterson is picking himself in the first round with a game check on the line, I’m going to have to go with my gut and pass on him till the 2nd.

I don’t know what’ll drop him more; injury concerns or having christian ponder as his qb.

well it really worked out well last year against washington when Adrian was focusing on scoring points for his fantasy leaguers…

The way I see it, most people won’t be gambling on him in the first round and those that get him after the first will be the ones that are standing at the end of the season on top because of the risk/reward they got by taking him in round 2-3

Let’s be honest, the ONLY reason to watch the Vikings this year is if you have AP on your fantasy team…same for the Jags and MJD.

Every player recovering from ACL injury says they feel great when they get closer to practicing and playing. And I’m sure they do feel great, until another hit or fall re-injures his knee. Ask Terrell Thomas.

I would take Peterson in round 3.
