Adrian Peterson breaks single game record this week! (1 Viewer)

[Team Tosh]

Man...I wish I had some popcorn...

I put extra salt on and ate the whole bag. Topped it off with a birthday cupcake!

Happy birthday Andy! It's mine today as well. I would love to see AD break the record. He is so much fun to watch. I'm a big Packer fan and I was just disgusted when I saw him get injured. I'll always root for AD except when he's playing the Packers.

LT + ADP owner in redraft. Nobody knew what was coming!!!

LT + AP in dynasty...even better.

AP + Gore + Portis + L. White in one of my dynasty leagues. Even better! :(AP + MJD + Bush + Rudi in another. SUPER TASTY!

To me that's lame. Not trying to offend... but makes the draft kinda boring (especially auction leagues), and that's too many studs off the board. Although the affinity you can get with those players is nice. 4, 5, 6+ just seems like way too many.

only one reason on how one can assemble those teams

I haven't read any of the replies, but in response to the OP:I wouldn't be surprised.

No need...just people patting themselves on the back for owning AP (myself included).

 

[Sabertooth]

Might as well bump this. Seriously I'll be disappointed with anything less than 150 and 2 tds this week.

 

[OU#1]

Here's my take:

20/145/2

3/40/0

Take it with a grain of salt.

His being limited in practice so far this week has me a little concerned. Not that he won't play, but that we'll see something similar to last week in terms of getting him out of the game early if the game is out of hand early. I'll take his production from last week, but perhaps he will not have that production and the game will already be a beating. I don't think he'll approach 300 either way, but for him to have a chance, he'd probably need close to 25 carries anyways. I don't think he gets that many in this game.

I don't see the Vikes leaving him in there if the game is won. The only way he stays in is if SF keeps the game close. Um, I don't expect that to happen. I'd love to see 2 TDs but I'm expecting 120/1 with a handful of receiving yards this week. If they let him vulture some TDs that would be nice, but unexpected.

Ok, clearly this is going to turn into a "ADP tears his ACL, MCL, and PCL, out for eternity" thread by Sunday. These threads never end well.

 

[smcindoe]

Only 298 yards to go at halftime.

I'm not math major, but I think he's on pace to do it.

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh man... I had forgotten all about this thread.

Sabertooth = Eddie Mush

 

[Horses Mouth]

Oh man... I had forgotten all about this thread.Sabertooth = Eddie Mush

we got Mushed!

 

[Magnus_CA]

Thanks for the jinx!!!I'm going to email AD and tell him to keep that knee brace on!!!

I hate you.

Sweet, I was waiting for this thread to get bumped. This game raises serious questions as to whether Peterson is a viable starter for the rest of the fantasy playoffs. Not only did he do terrible in this game, he wasn't even the starter. Taylor was on the field most of the time.

 

[snogger]

You heard it here first. ADP is going to go for over three hundy this week. San Fran has the 26th rated rush defense. ADP is now one week back from the injury and looks to have no side effects. They have not seen anything remotely close to ADP all season. This is the week that All Day claims the NFL MVP! You heard it here first.FWIW - I am a lifelong Packer fan and I've never seen a back as good as ADP.

Thanks for the Jinx.

 

[Shrek]

11 attempts/1 yd in the 4th qtr.

Oops- Edit: 12 attempts for 0 yds

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

great call

 

[Raider Nation]

11 attempts/1 yd in the 4th qtr.

UPDATE12 carries for zero yards.

 

[encaitar]

You'd think with the defense blitzing 7 or 8 on a run stunt every time Peterson is in there that 3 or 4 screens would've been a pretty good call? Nah, just let him get hit in the backfield on every carry, much better plan.

Peterson looked like absolute garbage today but I think you're being guilty of severe overreacting. There's no question he murdered his fantasy owners today but he still got double-digit carries. Given his talent, if that remains the case I think what we saw will be viewed as an aberration. If Peterson owners are still alive next week I wouldn't hesitate to start him against the Bears.

Please stop making predictions about Adrian Peterson. Thank you. Sincerely, Adrian Peterson owners

Damn, he was so close.

Congrats-- you just tgunzed yourself. Goodbye playoff victory!

Has there ever been a worse call than this in the Shark Pool? Seriously.

You are right. I am. Barry Sanders had a few games like this. This is simply a case where Peterson had zero room to run. Chester Taylor suffered the same fate save for one long run. San Francisco prepared to stop the run and they did just that. I doubt Peterson could be kept in check like this every game. Odds are this is a significant aberration.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

What's the record for tackles in a game? Willis is going to double it this week!!!

exactly what I was thinking. You are looking at a week in which Willis will likely be over 20 UTs. Willis is every bit as impressive as ADP is.

Willis had twice as many tackles as ADP had yards.

 

[Sabertooth]

Fail spectacularly I guess.

 

[Raider Nation]

Fail spectacularly I guess.

Way to man up and show your face again! I respect that.

 

[smcindoe]

Remember when Jamal Lewis called the Browns' defensive players to tell them he was setting the rushing record against them, and then did?

If that phone call and this thread ever touched, the world would cease to exist.

 

[Sabertooth]

Yeah kind of whiffed there. Still won my game where I have ADP though so I'm happy I didn't need him. Going to be a tough decision between him and Earnest Graham next week though.

Dude, you completely whiffed on an out-of-this-world prediction. Don't let that make you bench AD in favor of Graham. I'm doing my civic duty here. AD is unbenchable. Period.

The only caveat I'd put on this is: How Is The Knee? Makes a big big difference.-QG

This is more my thinking. I did flip the game on and see him getting his brace re-wrapped.
