Same. I'm going AP. Hoping for 70/1. I just feel it'll be too much of a good story that AP rides from the ashes.

Yep, that's exactly what we could get. Rolling dice cuz I pretty much have to. Peterson low bottom floor 40 yards and 4 points? Yet I keep hearing they will give Peterson carries. I would think they will stick with their game plan for at least 3 quarters. 70 yards, 2 catches for 15, and 1 TD would be nice.

I'm going with AP over Herbert right now. No confidence situation gets cleared up before Monday. If it does and Montgomery plays then I'm sticking with AP. If it doesn't, AP. If before SNF Montgomery is ruled out then I play Herbert but I doubt that's going to happen.
Herbert could get little carries vs Steelers and I just think at this point if its a shared backfield, AP is the better play. At least I'll get to see how my score is with the early games before I make a decision but yeah... This is a most likely a low probability what the heck flex play for both.

Oh wow. I'd go AP. Keeping him on sideline myself in both leagues. If he shows a pulse it's a win anyway.

Starting an all-time great on Sunday night in two places. This may all be fluff, but it is exciting.https://www.rotoballer.com/player-news/adrian-peterson-to-be-the-featured-option-on-sunday/958323

Yeah looking more and more like I may start him over Eli Mitchell. Dont trust the ribs
well we got the td. Not sure how I feel about this backfield though.I'm going Peterson over David Montgomery.
Hopefully he gets that TD tonight
AP 10-21-1 1 reception for 5.
foreman 5-29
Mcnichols 7-24 rush 3-11 rec
I hate triumvirates and seems like the offense had a hard time getting anything going. Game was all defense. AP seemed to get hit in the backfield every time and didn’t look all that great.

I'd agree. Was hoping to see more of and from Peterson. Looks like a 3 man RBBC at this point. I'll give it a little time though as Peterson has been with the team for only 5-6 days (but, then again, so has Foreman)

Anyone expecting a big game by a guy who was on his couch at home without a playbook this time last week was throwing coins into a wishing well. Particularly given they were facing the Rams.
Foreman being picked up definitely took a chunk out of ADP's potential, but I think he gets going better this coming week.

New Orleans can be stout against the run as well. So I still wouldn’t drop after next week if it’s another dud.
The foreman thing really throws a wrench in this production. He may even be the cream that rises.
But I’m not here to argue who’s better, I’m just pointing out next week is another test that may not tell us too much.
Holding.
Tough matchup. Found the endzone. Actually ran a wildcat play and caught a pass. That in itself is all a bit surprising for a guy just off the street.
Going to hold off judgement until after the NO game (another tough matchup) and maybe even the following week in his first solid matchup vs. HOU. That's when the schedule eases up.

All three RBs should be held for a couple of weeks to see this play out. Foreman looks to be the better back at the moment and may come out on top but it’s early in the process for AP.

I wasn’t impressed by any of them, but one could emerge from the quagmire.
the TD saved AP’s day - can’t count on that every week. He didn’t get a lot of YAC, but he did elude a couple of tackles in the backfield to turn a 1-2 yard loss into a 2 yard gain. Didn’t look pretty in the stat line, but it was basically AP doing AP things. Not peak AP things, but certainly no worse than Lions AP things.

At this point in the season you would be crazy to let any viable rb go unless you are on a very short bench. This backfield is a work in progress but of the 3 I think he looked the worst.

The guy has been there less than a week and gets thrown into two tough matchups out of the gate. I would either hold on the bench if you are deep at RB or start him if you are short at RB.

The guy was on the couch a week ago. Gets thrown to the wolves with two tough matchups off the bat. The fact that he’s been there less than a week and led the team in carries is pretty remarkable (and probably speaks to the dire circumstances of the Titans RB room). I have no idea why Tenn didn’t make a move for a RB at the deadline, as they are clearly playing like a contender right now. But the fact is that they didn’t, and one of these RBs is going to have value down the stretch. Given the competition, my money is still on AP. But it’s most advisable to let him sit on your bench until this situation sorts itself out.

Do they get any of their O-line back? Biggest problem is penetration in backfield which makes him look bad cause he pretty much gets all the inside runs and Foreman gets to run away from the pentration and take outside runs / screens.
Do agree with Waldman that he still gets the meaningful carries and is making good moves despite not appearing on box score and that they are limiting his carries because he hasn't participated in any preseason / practice / etc all year and should get increases as time goes on.

I personally listen to Matt Waldman with a very serious ear. I think he's got a blind spot on this one. Peterson looks terrible, Foreman at least looks somewhat passable.
He just looks slow to the naked eye. I'm not sure what Waldman is missing, or if the naked and untrained eye is just wrong. I'm not so sure in this case that it is.
Yeah, I mean he's been wrong in the past so wouldn't be new but his video analysis of the plays at least sounds reasonable. Where he has failed with Sermon in the past was that what he thinks is a good talent may not be necessarily match with what the offense wants to do and builds their team around.
Rather than AP looking poor, I think maybe they just aren't an inside running team this year and these screens and outside runs become their bread and butter and AP continues to look terrible all year because he maybe doesn't have enough speed at this age to run outside and the o-line doesn't have the talent to make the interior runs work.

My level of expertise means I sort of have to cede the possibility that AP is just fine and not washed, and he simply doesn't fit the system or what the offense does well. My eyes, on the other hand, are telling me a different story.

Makes sense. I just try really hard not to overreact to one or two games and draw out conclusions on players. Especiailly when its their first 2 games playing in over a year. Plenty of players start off slow and pick things up as games progress and after many people write them off. People are just so quick to draw conclusions and then immediately change their mind once one good game happens. Illogical to me that people can't see multiple scenarios and think they know everything until they don't.
AP could possibly not happen this year but I see a route where he could so I think he's worth holding. All a crap shoot anyway.

That one guy

He’s gotta be hurting for money? There’s no other explanation for signing with Seattle, a team with no real chance at the post season
Cjw_55106

Yes. He’s had several lawsuits for millions of dollars against him and his lawyer has said that he is essentially broke after “ trusting the wrong people“.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
Sorry but I'm done with this guy even if others are not. If someone is looking for a dart throw I'd trust either Ameer Abdullah or Jermar Jefferson over him.
He’s also less than 400 yards away from overtaking Barry on the All Time leading rushers list so some motivation there maybe to sign with teams with an easy path to starting.

I think hes like 8 million in debt. Not that he will ever get that playing football. Maybe he gets more pension money if he plays more?
I think he can still play but he needs a team that will give it to him 25 times a game. He (and so many other backs) have always been a guy who can wear down the defense and get those huge runs late. Thats never going to happen though.
