Adrian Peterson's current trade value (1 Viewer)

So what about the schedule? AD has nothing to turn around. He is going off and will get better as the season goes on and the Viking offense gets more used to him.

Trade AD now and regret later.

 
I have a desperate Drew Brees owner that is 0-3 and itching to trade..No decent QB's on the wire. I have Romo and Big Ben.

He has Addai. Thinking of trading Big Ben and Adrian Peterson to get Addai. He might do it. I would have Romo/LJ/Addai/Steve Smith/Galloway/Edwards as starting lineup, and still have MJD and Kevin Jones as depth in a 12 teamer..ADP's value might be that high - would you do this?

 
The schedule worries me alot more than Chester.
Not sure why... By my calculations (combination of last year's RB points against defense * 20% + This year * 80%), here's the remaining SOS for AD:Week: Defense Rank vs Run---------------------------------04: 1305: BYE06: 907: 1108: 1709: 910: 1311: 2612: 1613: 2614: 2815: 916: 19That's not too scary. Some borderline top 10 D's vs the run and some serious patsies.
 
Im close to trade Peterson for Chad Johnson. The Johnson owner's 2 RBs are Rudi and Deuce
That's about the only WR that I would trade ADP for...Ocho Cinco or Steve Smith. And even then, it depends on the size of your league: 12 teams or more and RB depth is very scarce. GL

Yep thats the only thing Id be worried about as Peterson is my RB3. Now Foster would be my RB3 :yuck:. But I DO own handcuffs to Portis and Addai.
 
I traded away AP, B. Edwards & J. Galloway for LJ & Plax.

I'm hoping that LJ can turn it around.

(I'm 0-3. I had to do SOMETHING! Now I have Manning, LJ, Maroney, Lynch, Plax, Branch, Heap as my starting O.)

Here you go:Just traded ADP and Braylon Edwards for Addai and Jerry Porter. Brees owner actually hated his WR's more and wanted Edwards instead of Big Ben. (Hated to give Edwards up, but had to to get Addai).Looking forward to a starting lineup of Romo/LJ/Addai/Steve Smith/Galloway and soon to be added WR's. With MJD/Kevin Jones and Big Ben on my bench I should be able to land a very good WR to fill out that roster.Peterson and Edwards COULD both be huge. But the Peterson situation is still iffy with CT coming back and the status of the MN offense. Could be top 5, but lots of risk. Edwards could be at the start of a big 3rd year WR breakout. But Addai was just too enticing. Very limited risk - you know he's gonna get his.
 
Last week I offered AD and Romo for Peyton and MJD. I was refused and now this week, the other owner is begging me for this deal. Funny how value changes every week.

 
I offered Peterson for Roy Williams...no deal. Amazing, since his other RBs are Cedric Benson, MJD, Deuce and Ward.

 
There is no one in a dynasty league I would trade Peterson for, LT included. His upside is off the charts

That is one stupid person. You are lucky they didn't take it. You must be loaded at RB to be able to make that offer with the way RBs are dropping this year.
 
In my league for team 2 (in my sig), I was just offered Holt for AP straight up. I told him I wanted Roy Williams and he keeps on saying no and wants to give me Holt. I might just do it.

Reason why I'm hesitant is this is a keep 1 league and I planned on keeping Peterson for many years.

Why would you do it for either. You're set at WR.1 injury and you're mediocre at RB (w/o Peterson)

Actually he is as high as he's going to get for the year. You'll be kicking yourself for not getting rid of him while you can. Chester Taylor will be the feature back as AD has yet to understand blocking.Good luck with that

Here's why:I'm 1-2. I need to make a change. I do not like the Vikings offense. I live in Minnesota so I listen to all the radio talk shows about the Vikings offense and how bad they are. WHen I watch them on tv, they suck! They got no WR's to catch the ball, no QB's to throw the ball more than 8 yards down the field. All they got going for them is AP. Childress has said this over and over again: when Taylor is healthy, he will be the starter. Starter.....I'm not sure what this really means. I mean, is he gonna get MAJORITY of the carries and AP will get like 8-10 touches a game? I do not like that. I really thought the Vikings offense would be a lot better than it is this year and apparently they are not. How much longer can AP do so much until teams start sending 8 man front all day forcing the Vikings to beat them through the air. So I feel that if I trade AP for someone like Roy Williams - Torry Holt, I can then trade like Curtis and Marshall for a better RB or maybe even do a 3 for 2 for a rb and a throw in.I'm not sure. Just thinking to myself

Agreed, I got a huge man-crush on Peterson and have been waiting for him for 3 seasons, gave up a kings ransom for the chance to select him. He's a true franchise player, a throughbred. Tomlinson's a superstar, seems to be a great person, a team leader as well, but I'm of the opinion that if both these players were in the same NFL entry draft Peterson would be selected before Tomlinson.

I don't agree with that at all. LT makes cuts and moves that I haven't seen from ADP.

Fair enough, I'm not going to question LTs talent, Tomlinson has a lenghty list of accomplishments at the pro level that makes any comparison between the two unfair to both players. I'm suggesting that if both players were coming out of the same draft Peterson would probably be selected before Tomlinson. If my memory is correct in the weeks leading up to the scouting combine an awful lot of pro scouts were debating LTs ability to run between the tackles (nitpicking?), and were unsure of his hands, in college he ran to the outside a lot. Durabilty continues to dog Peterson, his measurables were off the charts and there were no questions about his inside running.

You DO realize dynasty leagues play over many years.

Not an outrageous statement. Tomlinson was the 5th pick of the 2001 draft. Peterson was the 7th pick in 2007 draft. It's not hard to imagine Peterson going earlier if he had not had his injury. Still, we're talking a two pick difference here. I'm not sure about "probably" but I would definitely agree to "possibly" -- and not just in the anything is possible way, but in the very good chance way.They're both exceptional talents. However, where the comparison breaks down to me is the supporting cast and overall offensive firepower that LT has had surrounding him for the past few seasons. It's hard to imagine that being the case in Minnesota in a few years. In this case, it's possible only in the anything is possible way for me.
 
Tried to trade ADP for CJ straight up, and was told no thanks..

He has Addai, Portis, Benson and Dunn in a start 2 league.

I have FWP, Henry, ADP, and Thomas Jones.

Why would he need ADP?I had Addai, Portis, and ADP in a start 2 league and I traded AWAY ADP for CJ.

He came to me with an original offer of Dunn and Dallas Clark for ADP and Calvin J. I already have Witten and Gates. He wants ADP.

Doesnt sound like it with that garbage offer he sent you.
 
I just traded Adrian Peterson, Jason Campbell and the Ravens for Larry Johnson, Donovan McNabb and the Bears. LJ's owner was 0-8 in our league and looking to next year. We can only keep three players, and AP would cost a first round pick next year, so I decided to concentrate on winning this year and upgrade at QB and RB. I am happy with the deal but I really did not want to give up AP. I am close to the Twin Cities and all the Viking fans were making offers . . .
 
Just got offered LJ for AD. Told him I want to wait a little to see if there's any truth the the rumors of Taylor being traded to the Bucs.

With our rules, LJ's not keepable (can only keep 2 years) any more but AD is for a decent price (about RB2 cost). The other owner is 0-4 and probably wants AD primarily as a keeper for next year. I'm in first and pairing LJ (or AD w/out Taylor) with L.T. could put me over the top. If the rumors are bogus, I may pull the trigger...

I have him in dynasty, and Ive gotten alot of very good offers but I can bring myself to trade him. He's got upside through the roof, if they ever actually get that passing game going LOOK OUT. And it doesnt even matter if Taylor is around, the kid will still get his numbers. Although I am hoping Taylor gets traded to one of these RB hungry teams (TB,GB,NO, Etc...)

 
Just offered Travis Henry and Steve Smith for him in a keep 2 league.

Higher than I ever thought I'd offer, that's for sure, and probably insane, but he's a special, special player.
