I have read a few posts here stating that AP's trade value in a redraft league is that of a top 10 rb or a top 5 wide receiver. I have tried multiple trades for this comparable quality but have been rebuffed. Am I being pollyanish or does he truly have this value? By the way, my first post so be be gentle.

Adrian Peterson's current trade value (1 Viewer)

WelcomeAs a Peterson owner I would only take a top 10 RB or top 5 WR. If nobody is willing to give that to me then I will hold onto him until someone is willing. In your league he doesnt seem to hold much value yet. He will. Just be patient.

I've been offered Larry Fitzgerald for Peterson, straight up.
All other offers I've received for him are 4 player or more trades so it's not that easy to gauge his true value in other league members' eyes.
If Chester doesn't play this weekend and Peterson lights it up, then you'll be sitting on some VALUE.
Most recent Rotoworld blurb on Chester:
News: The Vikings will leave it up to Chester Taylor (hip/oblique) to decide whether he is ready to face Detroit on game day.
"He’s done everything he can to put himself in a position to play," coach Brad Childress said Friday. "We’ll see. We’ll leave it up to him."
Their view: Taylor hasn't practiced fully all week. Don't count on him playing much even if he's active.

yes, you are being naive. Maybe if you wait a couple of more weeks it could get that high, but for now, I would say he's got 3rd round value...guys like Boldin, Javon Walker, or Donald Driver. As for RB comparison, I'm not sure why you would bother offering him straight up for a top 10 RB that was drafted in the 1st round. You'll just get rejected. Maybe Maroney or MJD offer similar trade value at this point.

While people do tend to overreact to the happenings each week, there are also a lot of people that are slow to revise their preseason opinions on guys. You're going to need to find a guy in your league that has been really high on AP all along to get the kind of trade your talking about done right now.
I think it would be hard to move him for a top 10 back or top 5 WR after one week where MN's "starter" got hurt. If he has a couple more solid weeks then maybe you could start to work this (at the same time if he has two more weeks similar to week 1 you may not want to trade him any more).

I assume he's your RB2 or RB3 so why trade him? He's one of the top few RB2's with RB1 potential right now. Not to mention he was #1 in my league opening week, and he should explode all over the Lions.Ride him I say. Cuff him with CT and don't worry about your RB2 slot for the season.

Wow I think you wouldve gave up WAY too much in that trade. Good thing for you it was rejected. I offered ADP & RegBrown for SSmith and TJones and was rejected. Ill try again next week perhaps depending how things turn out.
He's is my number 3 rb behind SJ and Travis. Thought I could trade a situational start for a guaranteed week in week out starter at wr?

Agree. Just wait another week or two and trade AP for Marvin straight up. I think he's a good #2 RB, worth a possible #1 WR, depending on the team's needs.

I would keep AD. Not even thinking about trading him away.
im in a 2 player keeper league 1 point for every 2 rec and someone offered me s.smith and m.barber for him i dont know what to do

Somebody offered me Thomas Jones, Jay Cutler, and Michael Turner for David Garrard and Adrian Peterson.
Given a choice, I'll usually trade for guys who are not consistently listed as either "Probable" or "Questionable" on Injury Reports (TJ).
At any rate, I see no compelling reason to move AP. Like most other people, I have him as an RB3/FLEX guy. (In my case, behind Travis Henry and Edge. I think his floor is RB Top 20 and his ceiling is RB 10 to RB-12. And I'm in a redraft. Obviously, in a Dynasty situation, we wouldn't be having this conversation. People who have AP in a FLEX role need to learn to live with a little prosperity.

In a Dynasty league, I'd only give up AP for LT or Steven Jackson.
The Real Deal
Footballguy
You should count your lucky stars that he rejected that b/c you would've been hosed. Do not trade AP. I repeat, do not trade AP. If he can stay healthy this year he is going to be a top 5 RB. No matter who you trade him for you are not going to get fair value in return b/c he is not "proven". Sit back and enjoy the ride.aztecs88 said:

Doesn't hurt to test out his value. I'd only deal him for a Top 5 RB in dynasty.
Redraft: Top 10 RB only. Top 5 WR.

Why test the waters if you struck gold by drafting a top 5 RB after the 1st 2 rounds? This guy is good, real good. In dynasty the ONLY player I'd think about trading for him is LT. And I'd have to think about it given LT's wear and tear and the fact he will be approaching 30 in the next few years. He is almost untradable in dynasty leagues. In redraft leagues I'm only willing to trade him for LT, SJax. No WRs are worthy enough.

Footballguy
Because perhaps I'd prefer having another RB that was drafted in the Top 5-6? I'd be silly to not at least not consider Addai, Gore, Parker. I'd deal him for Addai (among others) in a redraft no questions asked. Chester's going to get carries when healthy. You're naive if you don't think he will. And it's probably to the benefit to AD.

I own Peterson but I think there's little chance he is top 5 this year. As a matter of fact I'll say there is almost zero chance of it. The Vikings are a bad offensive team which will limit alot of red zone opportunities. Plus Taylor is not gonna just disappear. I think you're insane to think Peterson will be top 5. Who wont be top 5? LT, Jackson, Gore, Addai, Alexander, Westbrook, Henry, Parker all have better opportunities than Peterson to finish top 5.

So, I take it you been chuggin the koolaid. Please, tell us what offers have you make for AD so far? Lots of speculating investors after week one. There are fortunes to be made and lost right now, but only for those with stomachs for big gambles.I'n not sold that he will even be a top 10 RB as of yet. Yes it could happen but im not ready to gut my depth to get him on my squads in redraft. His value should stabilize by end of week 3 and then we will know what we have here.Right now I feel his value is higher than it will be by close of week 3. I think were looking at a bottom RB#1 or top RB#2 as of right now. Buy and sell accordingly and speculate if you want.
The Real Deal
Footballguy
This is the best RB talent to enter the league since LT. Other than LT on your list there is no other RB that is a lock to be in the top 5. Westbrook is injury prone. Alexander is on the wrong side of 30 coming off a horrible year. Gore/SJax/Parker are all coming off great years but have only done it once. Questions about the Rams O-Line, Gore's durability. Addai has never been a full time RB before. After LT there are a lot of question marks for all of the RBs to round out the top 5. AP has as good of shot as any of them.
The Real Deal
Footballguy
Mark it down.....AP will be a top 5 RB this year. I will not entertain any trades for AP b/c I'm not shopping him and whatever is offered to me isn't even close enough to what he is worth. Even if your not sold on him now is NOT the time to trade him. Wait until his value has gone through the roof by mid-season.If you want to speculate now is the time to get him.

A.P has NO TRADE VALUE right now in most leagues IMO. If you Have A P, who would you trade him for: LT, S Jax, maybe a couple more. If you WANT A P, are you willing to give up that quality of player. Hell no!
A P's trade value will only be determined after Chester gets healthy a few games and we see how the Minny RB carrry allocation shakes out. Trading for or from A P is just too risky right now, so effectively there is no market for him. there is no way to know whether you are overpaying or underpayin if you buy/sell him now.

You have to be kidding, Holmes alone is almost worth Marvin. This was so one sided in his favor. Even in a redraft league this would have been robbery...Unless you are talking about the real AP Adrain Peterson of the Bears. AD is more than Marvin Harrison straight up...aztecs88 said:
Exactly, I have AP in 2 leagues. If you have him he was probably drafted as RB3 or lower. If you can get LT, SJax, or such take it. I have him paired with SJax on a team with LJordan and JLewis as backups. I'm thinking of going for LJohnson with him but that owner would be insane to take it. I haven't even considered LT. If I look at the next tier, I think AP would still take a package to get someone and I think AP will be on par with them.AP needs a few more games like week 1 to see his value rocket. A 100/1+ game this week and he might be able to get a top WR if you are covered at RB. If you hold him until week 6 and he put up a good game against the Bears his value should be insane. He will be coming off of a bye that week and well rested. The bye will also give the Vikes to consider, "What if we DID focus the game around AP?". I think AP's value will peak after week 6. Guess who has a bye week in 7? LT. If that owner needs bye week help you may be able to pick them clean. It should still take a package but they might listen.If you can get a top tier RB today, go ahead. I doubt you can but may be able to in the future.

I'm an AP owner, and I don't think what you're saying is real world. First of all, Holmes is not almost worth Harrison. Not even close. Even optimistic projections of Holmes puts him at 2/3 of Harrison. Jamal Lewis is junk. I do think it's too much for Harrison. But you're analysis is flawed. And I don't think most leaguemates are ready to give their WR1 like CJ/Smith/TO/Harrison for AP - just yet.

Footballguy
Not being argumentitive here so don't take this the wrong way. I had asked what are You currently offering to AD owners in an attempt to trade for him in leagues where you may not have drafted him. Since you are so high on the young man, offers you may have made will help us determine what we might be able to negotiate as a final price. Thus adding even more value to an already valuable thread.

Is there another Marvin Harrison in the NFL that I am not aware of?
bluesclues
Footballguy
I'd trade him away for LT. Oh wait, I have both LT and AP.
Again, it is too early to trade him away. If you are trying to GET AP then you should be offering a RB like Westy, Parker, etc. If you have the owner holding AP then maybe an offer of Henry would work. If I could offer Bush + WR to get AP I would mark that down as the trade of the year.
The Real Deal
Footballguy
Me thinks you got the bad end of this one. AP>LJ this year. Ward+Brown>Driver.
The Real Deal
Footballguy
The two leagues that I currently don't own AP in are both dynasty. I've offered Portis+Evans straight up for AP and got shot down. Unfortunately I don't have any "stud" RBs to offer for him but if I did I would offer FWP, SJax, Alexander, Westbrook or any of the other top 10 RBs not named LT straight up for him in a dynasty league. Right now he is the #2 dynasty RB in my book.
IGKYA!!!
Footballguy
I'm open to discussion and criticism, but I just don't see one week of games changing my opinion on LJ and AP. LJ has been a top 3 RB for the last two years; AP's on week performance against the falcons isn't going to change my opinion... but I own AP in two other leagues so there is no doubt I'm on the bandwagon...

AP was traded for JJ and Housh in one of my phenoms PPR leagues this week.

Footballguy
Agreed. It would be hard for me to give up AP even for the likes of Parker, Alexander, MJD, Maroney, Rudi, and other top 10-ish backs just because of the sheer upside he has, which we saw in week 1. AP has a long way to go to prove himself as a durable feature NFL back, but you gotta love what you see so far. Kids a freak when he has the ball.

Weird game. Touted Viking line opened up absolutely zilch. Peterson still over 100 combined without any help.
