ADP limited with back injury..Chester as a flex? (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

It appears ADP suffered a back injury against Detroit. That being the case Chester may be a good play this weekend. I was thinking of starting both. Even if ADP goes off early Chet may get some good work in this game.

Chester could be a nice play but you have to remember that the niners run D is playing extremely well right now. Wouldn't be surprised to see AP held under 100 yards this week. IMO, this would not be the week to use Chester as a flex play.

What? Link?

 

[NoCheese]

No link, but it states on CBS Sportsline that he was limited in practice today w/ a back injury. No other details given

 

[Da Guru]

What? Link?

LB EJ Henderson missed all of practice (shoulder); RB Adrian Peterson was limited (back); S Madieu Williams (shoulder) was limited as well.

 

[MacGruber]

Pretty sure he's fine and just taking it easy. Chester purely a back-up now. I wouldn't bump him up.

Limited in practice on Wednesday and limited at game time on Sunday are pretty far apart.

Don't know of any full-time RBs who aren't bruised or sore at some point in the season and take it easy early in the week; that's the nature of violent collisions.

The ESPN report is bogus?

I have started Chester the past 2 weeks ( due to Pierre Thomas being hurt, this week he is sitting on my bench. I hope I didn't pick the wrong week to sit him.

Tough matchup, but it a long season so the Vikes may want to save some wear and tear on ADP. My other choice is Beanie Wells.

Yes your post is bogus and garbage. AP will be fine I am sure they are just holding him out to give him some rest. This is a non story. There is already this info on the first page in the AP thread. Feel free to delete DA guru's thread mods.

Relax chief. His link wasn't added until after the fact. He's making an implication that ADP's playing time is at risk and that we should validate his idea to play Chester as a flex. Carry on.

Taylor has 11 carries for 25 yards and 8 catches for 33 yards so far this season. Not good numbers considering they played the Lions last week. If MIN can't blow out the Lions I doubt they can blow out the Niners. If AP plays Taylor should be a no start IMO.

 

[smackdaddies]

any news?

And CT would start for half the teams in this league, so if AP is out I would be happy to have him

Hey Guru.. There hasn't been much talk locally that Peterson won't play or will be limited. My guess is they were resting him & that he will be fine on Sunday. It's the home opener & San Fran has been good against the run thus far.. I say if Peterson plays then I wouldn't play Chester.. Now if for some reason he does sit then I would obviously start Taylor. My hunch is he's fine though..

 

[MacGruber]

Home opener against a conference opponent who's 2-0? I'm guessing ADP plays and plays a lot. Call me crazy.

Against SF's D, however, I could Chester getting more touches simply because of AP being a bit sore and because as many have stated it's a long season. Whether or not I would start Chester--who I have by the way, but I don't have AP--is another question altogether. Though I could see Chester getting a TD this week all things being equally considered.

I ain't starting him however.

Peterson not worried about back

Associated Press

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says his back injury is "not a big deal," meaning he should play Sunday against San Francisco.

Peterson was limited in practice on Wednesday because of the injury. He rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown last week against Detroit, and leads the NFL in rushing heading into the Vikings' home opener against the 49ers.

Starting middle linebacker E.J. Henderson missed practice Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Thursday he believes Henderson will be fine.

Henderson leads the team with 17 tackles this season after missing most of last year with a foot injury.
