Adrian Peterson Week 13 Injury Update (1 Viewer)

[packersfan]

On behalf of Peterson owners everywhere let me say:



From RotoWorld:

Adrian Peterson will return in Week 13, provided he makes it through a full week of practice this week.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune confirms that Peterson was healthy enough to play in Week 12, but the team decided to be cautious and give him one more week. The Vikings, who suddenly find themselves in the middle of the wild card race, face Detroit next week, making Peterson a solid start.

I love him.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

This kills the value of both Peterson and Taylor for at least the next two weeks. RBBC.

Peterson was splitting carries early in the season and did just fine.

 

[packersfan]

I don't see it killing Peterson's value at all. If he's healthy (or close), he's proven he can be a Top 10 RB in a timeshare. The only concerns I have about him are how healthy he is. I see no reason to worry about his fantasy potential if he's able to return and be anywhere close to what he was physically before the injury.

Fine by me. Hopefully it will be like it was early in the season; Chester to soften them up, Adrian to take it to the house. The 50+ point weeks were nice, but I was a big fan of his consistency early in the year too.

I agree. If healthy, ADP is a top 10 in RBBC. Of course, if healthy ADP is top 3 (if not 1) when carrying the load.I'll take a top 10 over the bench any day. Taylor owners should be the only ones upset. Taylor's value will be very volatile the rest of the year.

this week against detroit.... :drool:

 

[shredhead]

You mean I might be able to play Peterson instead of Andre Hall or Fargas?

 

[Lord of Football]

I saw something about him having a check up MRI today....has anyone seen anything on the results?

 

[Kuz]

this is funny considering both guys just went nuts this week.. but of course it will be nice to have AP back..

 

[SSOG]

This kills the value of both Peterson and Taylor for at least the next two weeks. RBBC.

How does this kill Peterson's value? Peterson's value if he's not playing is 0. Peterson's value if he is playing, even in an RBBC is greater than 0. While this sucks for Chester Taylor owners, or even possibly for owners of both Peterson AND Taylor, it's definitely a positive for Peterson's value going forward. As someone who owns Adrian Peterson only, I'm very happy with this news.

Yeah, I got lucky. Both played well but i fear they will both be inconsistant. I will feel more comfortable with either AD or Jacobs in my RB2 slot.

Rotoworld:

An MRI taken Monday on Adrian Peterson's torn LCL showed "excellent healing," coach Brad Childress revealed at his day after press conference.

Peterson will practice this week, and barring setbacks, play vs. Detroit. "I would say we’ll ease him back in," Childress said. "You’re not going to go back there and turn over the whole load to him." Peterson will be well worth an RB1 start even with Chester Taylor getting a bigger piece of the pie.

this kid is NOT human

mark it down. so i'm not cheating on "her" when i say i love him right?

 

[The Ref]

I'm thankfull that I have clinched a playoff spot already. As excited as I am to hear this news for the playoff run, I can't think that I am going to start him this week sight unseen. But then again, i guess it's all about options.

 

[mozzy84]

more of the same from the hometown paper, ease him back in this week and he'll be ready for the ff playoffs.

Childress: Peterson’s MRI “shows excellent healing”

November 26th, 2007 – 1:27 PM by Judd Zulgad

Running back Adrian Peterson had a follow-up MRI today that showed “excellent healing” of the slightly torn lateral collateral ligament he suffered Nov. 11 against Green Bay. Peterson is expected to practice this week and if all goes well he will play Sunday against Detroit.

“He’ll have to do all the things he needs to do during practice to prepare himself for this week,” Childress said.

Asked about how Peterson might be used upon his return, Childress said: “I would say we’ll ease him back in. You’re not going to go back there and turn over the whole load to him. Those guys [Chester Taylor and Peterson] have been good playing off each other. There are conditioning factors involved, there’s fatiguing factors involved when you get involved in playing a 65 or 70 play game. We’ll have a pulse on how he practices and who gets what.”

Childress downplayed the importance of whether Peterson or Taylor starts because, “it can change on second down.”

In order to secure a wild card spot on my own power i HAVE to win next week. This would be the first time in 4 years for me to enter the post season in my dynasty league.

I am sure pleased to read the AD will ride me into the Play Offs !!

 

[Magnus_CA]

Don't ya mean you'll ride AD into the playoffs?

 

[NoFBinLA]

Both a redraft AND dynasty ADP owner here - is anyone else concerned that he's coming back too early? I mean, I NEED him to be back FFwise, but are they risking his future at this point?

It's not as if Chester Taylor has sucked.

If the doctors say he's good to go, who am I too say otherwise? But I'd hate for him to come back before he should.

On the other hand - they aren't OUT of th playoffs are they? There seem to be a few 5-6 teams..... could they make a run?

Wow.. you think? I dunnnno... me thinks they will give him very light work. Thinking wait another week to start him (course it always depends on who else you can start).

I have always believed that if healthy they should play him.. and it seems like there is nothing going on that makes it seem like they are rushing him back... they say that he's shown "excellent healing."maybe everyone that's saying he's rushing should ask him to heal slower?

Nice we've went full circle with ADP. Just like the beginning of the season all over again! Might as well re-bump all of the old posts to get your answers...If he's 90-100% then there won't be a 50/50 split. I think Chili has already learned his lesson with that. ADP is twice the back CT is even at 80%.Secondly, as I said before in Week 2 or earlier: It's not the number of carries that ADP gets, it's what he does with those carries that matters. I think his 6+ YPC speaks for itself.50/50 split for the NFL rushing leader and single game record holder? I seriously doubt it. Sometimes analysts are just wrong...You guys can all bench him with your doubts, and I'll be riding him to my championship.

Wishful thinking, "twice the back CT is even at %80" After a ligament tear, have my doubts you will "Ride him to the championship". No way they work him as hard coming off this injury.

alot depends on this weekends game imo, if the vikes win they are right back into the hunt with a pretty easy schedule ahead and they will lean on him more. Either way I wouldn't be worried about ADP getting to few a carry, he'll put up stats with 15 carries and goal line touches anyways. not to mention jackson has been playing better (better than total crap like the beginning of the year) the last few weeks.

I don't know what to think. I am in the playoffs, so I would rather he rest up one more week, but a win might put me in a better playoff position too. I think Childress needs to win in order to stay, so I hope he isn't putting ADP at risk, but I do think he will ride him if he is going good.

I am right there with you, chilly was treating him with kid gloves the first 6 weeks and was blasted in the media constantly for it and he finally figured out they can actually win some games giving him the ball more. chester probably will have more carries this week, but if ADP gets through it fine it will be back to 20+ carries after that imo.

Who said anything about benching him? But I'd be happier with 25 carries rather than 15.

Here's a strategy question for my fellow AP owners:

If AP plays this week, are you 100% ocnfident to put him in your lineup? I think there's no question that AP is an explosive player. But are any of you hesitant to put him right back in your lineup? Are there concerns that he could re-injure his knee? I have two decent alternatives at RB, but I couldn't see myself benching AP if he's cleared to play.

As always, it depends on your options. If he's a go, I'd start him over Fred Taylor & Warrick Dunn. If AD plays, I would think he'd be healthy enough to produce like he did before the Chicago massacre....

I'm an AD & Chester owner in one league, and I might start them both instead of guessing - over Bush.In another I'll likely start AD with Portis over Grant.

Certainly. I have Fargas and Gore as alternates. The only reason I'd even consider Fargas over AP is Fargas gets the mediocre Denver rush D this week.

For my situation, he's a no-brainer to return back to the lineup. This is largely driven by my current stop-gap RB options: he'll get the start over Ron Dayne in one league, and over one of either Maroney / Kolby Smith in the other league.I guess at the end of the day, I have to believe that the team won't put AD back out there if there was concern of reinjuring an un-healed knee. This may be naive, but I think he only plays once he's really ready. Anxious to hear the practice reports this week.

I can see myself starting both ADP and Chester this week. It's quite possible for each of them put to put 100+ yards and a TD.

I would be hesitant if it wasn't Detroit ... But the matchup is to good to pass up
