Adrian Peterson Status Updates (2 Viewers)

I have him and while I feel he will break down I am going to enjoy the ride until then. If anyone can surprise me and keep this going at his age AP just might be the guy who can do that?

 
There is some serious emotional investment in here with this guy.  With his age and running style, let's see him finish the season and get you to the playoffs before we start with the I told you so's.  It's only week one for crying out loud.

Deal as long as as we hold off on the "signs of the wheels falling off" after a good week one.

 
Just traded AP for Emmanuel Sanders in a full-point PPR league ... 15th round pick paid off

Yeah no 30+ Rbs have ever had good seasons, besides Curtis Martin, Tiki Barber, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Dunn, Thomas Jones, Emmit Smith, John Riggins. No chance for AD.

Have any of them ever done it after being bounced around the league and being 3 years removed from a full productive season?

 
It's still early, but I still wouldn't want him in my starting lineup on a regular basis.  He'll have good weeks and bad weeks.

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?

I had to go back and look at my draft results.  He went @ 7.12 in my draft and was followed up by Thompson @ 8.01.  At that point, I had Gurley @ 1.01, Ingram @ 5.01, and Kerryon Johnson @ 7.01 in a start 1 RB, 1 WR, and 3 Flex at that point.  My WR at that point were Hill, Landry, Fitz, and Fuller.  Easy pass.

 
For those of you who missed out on the chance to sell him high after week 1, you get another golden opportunity to do it now.  Don't miss out on this one.

First, AD is SOD worthy....IF and its the rub, he can stay mostly healthy and ff playoff available.  I went wr wr te qb in a 14 team league and hes my rb 1 in a srart 2.  9th rd iirc.  

But I'll bite.

What can AD owners realistically expect in a trade right now?  Maybe buy low on Henry?  Please elaborate.

Without sounding repetitive, I don't think he can keep this up all season.  He's shown small flashes in the last few years, but overall did not have good numbers over those years, and is even older now.  I think he breaks down.  He was on everyone's sell high list after week 1, and everyone seemed to be kicking themselves after last week for not doing it after week 1.

This was a dream matchup for him and a prove it game.  I figured he'd have a great week but can you think of a time where his value will be any higher than it is right now?

Teams are going to be 0-3 and panicking.  For Teams that have the Fournettes, DJs, Cooks, Freemans, Mixons, Bells, etc, the time to make a deal is now.  I don't think AP is bad, and may still be solid, but this seems like a time where his value is highest it will be, and owners will be as RB desperate as they are now.

If you're off to a 3-0 or 2-1 start (like you very well could be as an AP owner), I'd look at including him in a package for one of the earlier mentioned RBs. (Not bell)  to some 0-3 or 1-2 team.

Former ADP owner and current Henry owner. If someone offered me ADP for Henry I would pull a muscle from hitting accept so fast. 

Tennessee is a disaster but that’s another thread.

I traded ADP and TY for Howard and Kupp. I also have the keeper rights to Howard for 3 years. That was after week 1; that was solely a future trade. 

Are you looking to trade for a RB? I would try and package him with a WR for Cook and a WR3/4. Someone who is frustrated with their current situation. Sounds crazy from a name stand point but sometimes you have to throw expectations out the window and look at the here and now.

Sold him for Mixon. (Caveat: he is a walking MASH unit with Bell, Ingram, McCoy, Baldwin, and Doyle)

 
Adrian Peterson believes he left yards on the field Week 3 against the Packers.

Peterson rushed for 120 and two scores in Washington's win, but he believes he could have done more with the blocking. "Should have been 160, 170 yards," Peterson said. "I left too many yards out on the field." Peterson now has 45 carries for 216 yards in Washington's two wins and 11 carries for 20 yards in their one loss. He should remain game script dependent the rest of the way, but he has shown he can put up RB1 production in good situations.
