Chester Taylor Back At Practice (1 Viewer)

From RotoWire:

Taylor (bruised oblique muscle) particpiated in practice on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

No word yet if Taylor was "limited" or "fully participated" according to the new NFL injury reports, but it looks like he's a good bet to play this weekend at this point. If he can play, he'll likely return to a starting role and get the bulk of carries in a time share with Adrian Peterson.

He'll probably be back soon, but I think it's too early to say how the carries will be split.
 
Not like AP set Detroit's D on fire. I was worried as Lions fan that he would break a long one on us, plus I was playing against him.....Detroits defense isn't getting any props right now, but they aren't the pushover most people believe.

I read Kelly Holcomb may start this week for Minny??? I think that helps out Taylor (if healthy) and Peterson. How long has it been since anyone talked about a Minnesota Receiver? Their offense isn't terrible, but Jackson looks like he is and him getting hurt might be just what the doctor ordered.

I agree that Holcomb should be an upgrade. Opposing defenses are only zeroing in on the run for now.
 
Not to be a AD apologist, but his not lighting the Lions Defense can be blamed partly on the 4 picks that TJack threw. Killed any kind of rythm. I thought the play calling was horendous, but I've never been a coach so I don't know much. As bad as Tjack is I still think he is an upgrade from fumbin' Brad Johnson. If CT does play I expect him to get the opening series and then a heavy dose of AD from there. 70-30 in favor of Peterson. 17 carries for AD, 8 for CT.

so the 4 picks that tjack threw were the only reason that AD averaged 3 ypc against a pedestrian Detroit defense?i guess im shuked on this...
 
AD was 2 yds shy of scoring on a ~30 yd pass play. That woulda given him 100+ yds and a TD on the day. I guess we should expect more.

AP had over 100 yards combined and was stopped on the 1 yard line after a 24 yard reception. So it's not like Detroit shut AP down. I'd say those are pretty impressive yardage numbers considering that T. Jackson was horrible Sunday.

I believe the important part of his sentence is that he blamed PART of the problem on the 4 picks. Not ALL, part.He's right - INTs - and a streak of them - can ruin rythm for a O. I'm sure it had an affect.

I never said they shut him down, but they won the game for the Lions without question. Oh, and what about that Offensive Line everyone has been talking about for months now......How did Detroit get so much pressure on Jackson..... :blackdot: It's too bad everyone that drafted AP is expecting over 100 yds and couple TD's from him. Just like Reggie Bush, MJD....they will have good games, but they aren't going to do it every week. Sooner or later you are going to have to start choosing which week you think will be the "one"....and that's when your f'ed.

CT was the starter and primary before the injury, AD has done zilch to change that. No real news here.

 
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out with both guys getting carries. Peterson has looked great the first 2 games but Taylor is a good player too. Hopefully he gets the Ladell Betts treatment. A couple of carries and receptions here or there but with Peterson still being the main runner especially at the goal line. Still not benching AD.

You mean like people that drafted Steven Jackson, LT, LJ, etc., etc.....No one drafted him in the first round this year and no one expects those kind of numbers from him, except maybe in an initial dynasty and that was a pick for the future, not this year.

He's been great so far and above most expectations.

Now MJD and Bush.....that's another story.

So basically, like the backup on any other team.I don't know how this is going to shake out, but I really can't see Taylor getting the majority of carries in that offense after the way AP has played in the past two games. It might be 55/45 or 60/40 for Peterson, but who here thinks that they go with the veteran again, and why? Just because it was the plan before the season?

The hundreds of posts and the droolings of Peterson owners prior to week 2 show otherwise.

He's the #5 RB in fantasy football right now. I think every Peterson owner is quite satisfied.

:shrug: I hang out in the SP a lot, too, and I can't remember anyone stating they "expect" those kind of numbers out of him, much less hundreds of posts.

I have seen posts about how people think he can or could reach those numbers, but I've yet to hear about anyone expecting it.

I see, so when you plug a player into your starting lineup you just think maybe he can or could be good that day......or do you expect them to be good that day? There are definitely 100's of posts on AP, just do a search. I never said every poster was expecting 100 yards and 1 or 2 scores, but by the amount thinking he "can or could" do that, IMO he is over-hyped. I found a post that said they weren't taking AP out of their lineup until he retires...! :lmao:

Not being as ###....I am def interested in if he had a hand in some of the turnovers....or if they were just bad decisions on Jackson's part. Minny's OL was supposed to all that, and the Lions made them look average.
 
What's the issue here?

You start AP every week until there is a reason not to start him. The guy is clearly going to be a super uber stud. Chester Taylor was a career back-up till last season and yes he did play well, but he does not have the same skill level of AP.

Peterson is a playmaker, a difference maker. They will feature this kid if they want to win games. Who else on this team can take it to the house any given play? Certainly not Chester Taylor.

Taylor will spell Peterson for about 6-8 carries.

Wow he has done zilch?He's the #1 RB in my distance league...Guess I should jump on the "HK is a tool" bandwagon.

Please don't post like you know this for certain. This is my opinion as well, but it's becoming a pet peeve, as a lot of visitors and guests will just read that (from not just you) and go with it like it's fact.

Whats the matter? The guy is averaging 140 yards a game - I could live with that as a RB1.

You'll need to look for a spot in the back...it's getting pretty full.It's great that AD is #1 in your "distance" league, but Childress needs a guy who can do better than 3.3 YPC against the Lions in his league. HTH.

I think that if CT can play, they will start this game with him as starter and primary and AD will get work spelling CT and that's about it.If it is a blowout in the 4th, AD will get more work and they'll; rest CT. If it is close, they go with whichever back ran better.Now, that said, I think it is only a matter of time this year before AD takes over the starting role.

I'd like to know.CT is good at that role. TJackson out is a boon for both runners. Holcomb is experienced at having to rush plays. I would guess fewer drive kiling sacks and INTs will mean better numbers for both runners.BTW, I have both dogs in this fight (so hard to type that analogy this year). In one league I have AD as my every week flex starter and I have CT in a different league as my RB4, but he could easily see the field in the next few weeks as teams head to bye weeks.
 
I see this as a good thing for AD both fantasy and real life wise. Memo got 10 touches last week and AD still had a ok game and that was with chilly letting jackson whip it all over the field, I don't see taylor getting more than 15 touches. AD will be touching the ball 20 times a game either way imo....

I have not seen him miss any blocks this year and have heard the coaches rave about how fast he picked everything up. Peterson himself said he hasn't been having any problems with it on the vikings weekly show, he said thats the only thing hes really had to work hard on but he thinks its going just great....

No offense, Keys, but what's he supposed to use as a gauge? College highlight films? :blackdot: I realize AP has HUGE talent - I just think it's funny that for many people it's a given that C. Taylor is a backup when he returns when in New York, the same people think it's a given that Jacobs returns as the starter. The irony is that while both Ward and AP are largely unproven at the NFL level and have similar stats to this point (AP has worse rushing stats, but better receiving numbers than Ward in terms of YPC - in PPR leagues, Ward is slightly better to this point.), Taylor has a proven record as a starter (1200+ rushing yards and 1500+ combined last year) whereas Jacobs does not. As I said, I am not trying to compare the talent of AP and Ward - I'm more pointing to Taylor and Jacobs and the similarities in the situation. This isn't Warrick Dunn we're talking about here. Why wouldn't Childress have them split time? Keep each fresh and stop his franchise RB from getting too beat up in a "rebuilding year" anway.

More than one game.He's cherry-picking his RUSHING during the Detroit game (and ignoring his four receptions for 52 yards), and also completely ignoring his huge 160-yard Week 1 performance.

I can cherry-pick like that for any player in the league and make him look useless. Sad part is, even as much as he had to work to find a stat that was bad, 20 rushes for 66 yards is just below average for a running back in the league. And he had to go through all that effort...

:lmao: You see how ineffective even the great LT2 is when the Chargers can't complete a pass. You aren't going to run on any NFL team defense if they have zero respect for the opposing team's passing game.

AD is avg 6.4 yrds per touch through the first 2 games. CT avg'd 4.4 yrds per touch last season and 4.2 through the first 2 games. That's that's what Childress needs....

:no: Not unless you consider 27 RBs with at least 20 carries as "average". Now his 4.3 ypc for the first two games is closer to average - that puts him right there with Tatum Bell, Marshawn Lynch and Maroney. :lmao:

 
For Starters CT was Limited in Practice Yesterday. He was Qouted after the Practice as saying I hope and Plan on playing ON Sunday.
