How he’s not already. a Bear or a Jag is beyond me. Both have need.

From a Bears fan perspective, I wouldn't mind him coming to Chicago. As a FF owner, I am hoping for JAX.

It’s not a free for all, AP has to go thru the waiver process (same as what just happened to Fournette).
Hot Sauce Guy

I doubt he'll get claimed.
I sort of meant, if TBD's were getting rid of him, he may have been traded.
Kevrunner

Yeah, if he gets claim, they will have to pay his current salary, that’s not likely, but I can easily see the Bears grabbing him like you mentioned once he clears waivers, but not Jax. Don’t think Jax has any interest in winning this year.

Jay Gruden wanted to cut AP two years ago, but was overruled, I just can’t see Jax having any interests in AP.

Correct. But as a veteran, if he is on the roster Week 1 his salary for the season would be guaranteed. So I think it’s likely he would be signed after Week 1. And with the new on boarding rules he likely would then miss Week 2 as well as there is no way he’d be up to speed in time.

Stay tuned to this.....maybe AP is thinking championship?
https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/9/5/21424158/with-release-of-deandre-washington-chiefs-down-to-three-running-backs
The Chiefs have informed RB DeAndre Washington of his release, per source.
Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson are now projected back-ups to Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
.....With the earlier release of Elijah McGuire, this leaves the team with just three running backs — Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson. That’s fewer than the Chiefs have historically tended to keep on their active roster; as we saw as recently as last season, NFL running backs frequently miss time with injuries.
Could this mean the Chiefs could be in the market for a veteran running back? As we noted in Saturday morning’s Arrowheadlines, some believe that recently-released Washington Football Team running back Adrian Peterson could be a fit for the Chiefs. On Saturday, the New England Patriots released running back Lamar Miller. Those are just two of the players the Chiefs could be considering.
But it’s also possible that the Chiefs intend to bring Washington back on the expanded practice squad. Under the 2020 coronavirus rules, they will be allowed to keep as many as six practice-squad players with any level of NFL experience — and on a week-by-week basis, protect four practice-squad players from being poached. It’s not hard to imagine the Chiefs could bolster their running back depth with such a move — provided that Washington isn’t quickly signed to another team’s active roster.

Signing a 1 year deal with the Lions.

What a quagmire that backfield is now. Is this an indictment on Kerryon or Swift? Both? Maybe the Swift injury is more serious than we think.

Prob hurts Kerryon more. Swift's roll as the team's pass catching back with upside remains the same.

Ty Johnson and Scarborough. This is a bridge with the oft injured Kerryon to get to the currently injured Swift.

Lions backfield is a mess. I can see AP helping - he’s old but he’s in great shape, has experience & can bring a lunchbox attitude to that backfired
glad he went somewhere. I might squeeze one more year out of him yet.

He didn’t look big & slow last year. Looked pretty spry for his age.
Man, imagine being Swift or Kerryon & getting beat out for carries by a guy that old. AP is a special kind of athlete, because that longevity is rare.
or KJohnson just stinks. Maybe a little of both.
but AP looked pretty solid in Washington last year. He’s not a home run hitter any more but I wouldn’t put him in Blount or Anderson’s weight class.

Ps - AP being a good fantasy pick is *not* a hill I’m willing to die on.

Have the lions really not had a 1000 yard rusher since Reggie bush in 2013? And before that, uh, Barry Sanders?
That seems so difficult to believe. Juan would almost have to accidentally find 1000 yard rusher in that span.
if it ends up being Adrian Peterson, AKA Methuselah this year, I will laugh hard.

Grabbed him late yesterday. Thinking of dropping him for Freeman.

I wouldn't use that phrase. This team wanted to use both of them from the outset each of the last two years. One stuck and one didn't. The guy they wanted to lean on kept getting injured. Then they found themselves giving meaningful snaps to Zach Zenner and Bo Scarborough come season's end.

Not sure if some intern posting that means much. I own Robinson and Ozigbo, so I wish both success, but I think Ozigbo is the better player. It won’t matter because Jacksonville won’t score many points this year and that OL is atrocious.

Twitter guys on the beat don't think it means much either, but every day is a day for wooting.

I am not surprised his production is being minimized because of his age, but this should be talked about more. I guess ADP is old news.

I know he looked really good. One of his early carries i thought it was Swift because of the quickness through the LOS. It was on a side TV so I couldn't see the jersey number or hear the announcers.
Yea I watched his highlights a few times. He definitely looks good, made a lot of guys miss.

What do you think of AP fantasy wise and what might happen with the RBBC approach? Seems like early consensus is AP gets early lead in touches with Swift doing more as the season moves on? How about this week? Who do you like better - AP or Swift? I sense a 50/50 toss up. I really don't want to play either this week.
