100x this. Kid had such a fluid running style. If he was in a big market in his prime he would be talked about a lot more. Alas Houston.

Gore is a lot more flexible than Peterson, plus he can catch. AP can only function in certain formations and his pass pro is not great.

This is like the 'trade fur Ingram/Edelman week three when his owner is getting desperate' advice.

AP in my opinion will put up good numbers at least in the beginning of the season and eventually wear down as the season moves on. I don't see him eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark.

Exactly, the idea that he is now the starter has come from commentators speculating, nothing concrete - unless I have missed something?
rockaction
Footballguy
Nope, you missed nothing concrete but you arguably missed the tea leaves.
But your point is taken: Like I said earlier in the thread, Clinton Portis can anoint him the starter all Portis wants...he ain't coach.

Gruden jokingly said in a press conference today that he wants to give AP 40 carries week 1. Meanwhile, Kelley played a large number of snaps in preseason week 4. Seems pretty clear what's going on here.

AP confirmed stater just now.
ESPN Redskins reporter John Keim confirmed Adrian Peterson will start Week 1 against the Cardinals

40 carries, 73 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 dropped pass, and one missed block that causes Smith to get laid out.
Love Adrian Peterson! Feels like Marcus in KC, Emmitt in Arizona and Rice in Oakland though. I decided I'd rather watch than own him in FF. There are going to be several weeks I shouldn't start him, but I would because he is ADP. Good luck to all of you ADP owners, I couldn't do it

Can't imagine it - they gave him a chance after NO bailed on him. They just didn't re-sign him after the season, but since they would get Johnson back why would they?

This might be kinda obvious, but if AP has a blowup game like last year with the Cards SELL HARD. Put him on the block and let the offers flow in before the 15/50 line because basically you have until Week 4...

Status: I’m an idiot for not starting him at flex over Chris Hogan.

I suspect his value will increase after this week. Tho im leaning towards keeping him and riding the bus till the wheels come off.

All Day should roll against the soft Indy defense in Week 2. Joe Mixon brutalized them for 150 yards and a score in Week 1.

I was right there with ya buddy.
rolling with him at Flex confidently this week/
Alex Colins needs to show me he can get it done until I put him back in. But I’ll flip flop between him & White at Flex several times before kickoff, I’m sure.
a week ago AP was my 5th RB. Life comes at ya fast.
it just feels like the wheels ARE going to come off... he's 33. whats the chances he's heathy and playing weeks 14-16? seems very low even for a freak of nature like AP

It was week one. I'm pretty sure everyone expected this. I'll eat crow if I have to, but let's see where he is week 10 or so. His price was too high for my liking.

He did indeed look good week 1. And I have a soft spot for ADP - I like having him on my team just because I like to watch him run. But while I think he will have some good weeks I don't think he will be a start every week type player so I jumped ship. Was going to wait until next week because I think he will have another good week against poor ole Indy, but opportunity presented itself. Still hope he performs well.

The starting QB getting hurt? And to your other comment, how is a 10th round pick to high of a price for a RB who's going to get 20+ touches a week. What other back could you get in the 10th with that type of work load?
signs of him being injured? Common sense would indicate a 33 year old RB is not going to be able to stay healthy until weeks 14-16 if he is taking 15-20 carries a game. if you want actual proof i would cite his 2017 season

How about a 33 yr old, highly prideful, feeling insulted, physical freak of nature RB on a balanced offense with a friendly schedule?
I guess the odds are still stacked against him, I suppose. Ridin' him til he breaks as my RB2 and will look for replacements over the course of the season.
