Not sure what it does to Chester's value, but those of us who have been holding onto Melwede and Fason in larger dynasty leagues might have roster space available now.

4.0 ypc underwhelming?

Chester will have (for now) at the very least value as a handcuff to the ADP-destined team. I'm going to hold onto him for a while, and see how ADP holds up.IdWhere is Taylor's value with ADrian Peterson heading to Minnesota?
For redraft leagues I'm not ready to write off Taylor just yet. There are still lots of questions surrounding Peterson's collarbone, if they have to operate will he be ready for the season? If he is, I'd imagine they'd still be somewhat cautious and work him in slowly. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if by midseason Peterson was getting the lion's share of the carries. Time will tell.

The Vikings drafted Peterson because they needed his explosiveness. He can't be very explosive on the bench. It's harrrrible news for Chester no matter how you slice it. Nice, serviceable season out of Chester last year but 5 td's and a 4.0 average on 300 carries just isn't going to cut it. Won't surprise me at all given Peterson's reported work ethic to see him starting game 1.

Not ideal for either RB.RBBC for the forseeable future.Another full time RB bites the dust.Where is Taylor's value with ADrian Peterson heading to Minnesota?
Chestah.

I wouldn't count Chester Taylor's value out yet. Peterson is going to meet with team doctors and may need surgery. This could be one of those colossal bust picks of all time if AD never gets right. If he does, then yes, CT's long-term fantasy value is greatly impacted. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet.

what do you think his ceiling is while he's sharing carries with AD and while Jackson is starting at QB for his first full season in the NFL?

Let's see if AD is healthy enough to play in 2007 before we worry about Chesty. In a dynasty league, I'm punting him. But in redrafts? I'm smelling value.

a minor collarbone injury is going to sideline Peterson.
He ran a sub 4.4 with the injury, I don't see how that keeps him out of training camp at all.

Ya, he benefitted from having no pass game, an adjusting O-Line, and facing 8-man fronts all year. Not to mention he had injured ribs the 2nd half.
As a ceiling, I'd look at Deuce McAllister 2006. Remember, a year ago at this time:(1) the Saints were going to suck(2) the Saints drafted Reggie Bush(3) Deuce didn't look great in 2004-5(4) Deuce had a lot of mileage on his tires(5) Deuce was still recovering from an ACL tearCompare:(1) Vikings 2007 doesn't look quite as bad as the 2006 Saints were expected to be(2) Peterson not as good as Bush(3) Taylor had decent 2006(4) Not a lot of mileage(5) The rookie, not Taylor, is the one recovering from injury.

make all the excuses for him that you want but they went out and drafted the best RB in the draft with their #7 pick in the first. Taylor was a workhorse but isn't that talented.Ya, he benefitted from having no pass game, an adjusting O-Line, and facing 8-man fronts all year. Not to mention he had injured ribs the 2nd half.

I'll state right now the Vikings will not be good on offense...so I'm not going to use the '06 Saints as my ceiling...not even close. Brees>>>>>>>>T. Jackson , that's just for starters.

Can't really argue with you there but the fact still remains that Taylor's value was due to his workload, not his 4.0 ypc behind a bunch of all-pro lineman or his 6 td's. He benefitted greatly by not having a decent back behind him, that's not the case anymore.I think the pick was a testament to the talent of Peterson, not Taylor.make all the excuses for him that you want but they went out and drafted the best RB in the draft with their #7 pick in the first.
