For those of us with AP still alive in playoffs (1 Viewer)

Figured this could use its own thread :goodposting:

Well, do you? He's dinged, horrible QB, banged up line, nothing to play for and oh yeah, he could be a GTD.

I am strongly considering Blount or Torrain...

Sure. We can spin it to WDIS. but spin the other way.

Will minnesota risk Peterson this far into the season with no postseason prospects?

Is Petetson fantasy relevant the next 2 weeks? Or does his ranking slip into the 12-24 range ?

I think in really depends on your options. AP is better than 75% of the backs out there even dinged up and not a great match up next week against a Bears team who will be looking to redeem themselves after a humiliating loss at home.That said, most teams don't have luxury of a better option even considering the above. It will be a tough decision but he's on my bench as of now for Tolbert. I believe they both have the same ceiling but Tolbert is in a better situation even splitting time.
 
I will probably start the guy, but only because I have no other options.
I believe this will be the case for most. Backs I can see with good match up this week that have a chance to outperform AP that may not be every week starters J. CharlesTolbert BGEBradshawMcCoyMcFadden
 
See the Chris Johnson thread from last week. Unless he's hurt bad and might not play, sit him at your own risk.

Strikethrough's are every week starters.I would add Hightower. :ptts:
Bradshaw an every week starter, but I have only started him 2 weeks. AD's bye and MJDs bye. I'm starting AD, MJD, and Rice over Bradshaw...I'm not going to overthink it...

 
Didn't I see a thread like this two weeks ago prior to the Bills game? Go back and read that, then look at the Bills/Vikings box score and you'll have your answer.

Checked the boxscore...Saw they played the Bills ranked #32 (last against the run)Bears ranked #2 :shrug:
 
I'll probably stick with him alongside MJD. Bradshaw is the other option. Bradshaw has been good, but I dont think I could live with myself if I lost in the playoffs because I benched Adrian Peterson for him. The other way around I wouldnt be happy, but I could live with it.

I believe he was trying to say if you are in a normal league and your team does not have 3 of the top 4 picks this year (if you had Chris Johnson you would have the quadruplets) Bradshaw is an every week start. Obviously your case is different than what he was talking about, though I am sure a large majority are sitting in the exact same position you are.
 
I have no choice Best, Gerhart and Ivory are my only other choices as a replacement.

I probably would have ended up starting him anyway - I benched him when he had his ankle injury and started Gerhart and cost my self $100 :cry: Fool me twice....

You all need to stop playing in 8 man leagues....I don't know a team that would have any of these players on their bench in 12-14 man leagues....That being said, i traded A/P in my dynasty league 3-weeks ago. I would say that 90% of the legue was pissed....Now i am in the semi finals....The vikings are a mess right now. If you have a viable option i would give serious consideration to sitting him.

 
I may start Torain over him.

ADP with Farve as his QB vs. Chicago is a tough matchup.

ADP with a injured TJax vs. Chicago is a brutal matchup. If it is the 3rd stringer than forget about it.

Add in the dinged ankle and you'll just have to pray he gets a TD to have a decent game.

He won't be cracking 100 yards.

 
Start him at your own peril.

ADP vs. the Bears back in week 10 : 17-51 for 3 ypc - 0 TDs.

He has broken 100 yards rushing 4 times in 13 games.

The team has nothing to play for.

The O-line has sucked all year.

Bears need a win big time.

Hasn't carried more than 20 times since week 8.

He has a dinged up ankle.

Gerhart's touches.

QB play is atrocious (8-9 in the box).

AND.....

He just went 14-26 against the Giants and now he gets an angry Bears team.

If ADP is a must start for you, say so long to your season. I am thinking about starting Tolbert or, gulp, Mathews instead.

This!I don't think you can compare this to the Chris Johnson thread from last week. Johnson was not injured and going against a horrible run team. For many of us, lineups must be set before 1pm Sunday. We won't know his status. Maybe they shut him down...?
 
In the one league I have Peterson that I am still in the Hunt no question he will be in my lineup along with Jamal Charles. Unless you have another stud you can replace him with it should not even cross your mind to sit him.

Nuts.

He has historically carved up Chicago...I know last year he was not that effective but this team will lean on him this week big time. Frasier is playing for his job. The Vikings are not just going to pack up and quit....especially agaisnt a division rival who they would like nothing more than to put a ***** in their playoff armor. Also this is the NFL players are all playing for their job every week and ADP is a premier player....shut him down...are you friggin kidding me?Don't over think this. ADP will be playing and getting a major workload.

I am leaning towards McCoy/Bradshaw/Hillis starting and ADP riding pine this week
4 team league?
:lmao: You could have very easily drafted those four RBs....Hillis was undrafted in many leagues.
:goodposting: Yea, I love it when posters do this.I *think* I'm sitting ADP this week and rolling with D.McFadden (v DEN) and J.Stewart (v ARZ). DMAC is obviously a start, but not 100% sure I sit ADP for Stewart yet.

these are my 3 starting rb's. Stewart goes in the flex.anyone who sits AP in the playoffs is crazy, unless they tell us he is really actually hurt.

Yea. I know. Problem is that there's more to this situation than just a bad matchup: nothing to play for, dinged up, bad matchup... just seems like a trap to me. Maybe I'll just start 3 WR's and McFadden...

agreed with this ... he has historically played well against the core group of this chicago D (although they are playing really well right now), he has a coaching staff that wants a job, he has a ownership group who is playing for a new stadium and still wants the money that AP brings in the door, plus he has his own stats to play for ... he is in the lineup even though the situation isn't great.

I'm adding Felix Jones to this list thank you. :lmao:

Got to love these - Just so make you feel a little better, 12 man leagueAP - #1 pick

Charles - 3rd pick

Bradshaw 5th - traded for Rice

Ray Rice - See above

Tolbert - WW pickup week 1

Torain - week 3 ww pick up

Not sure what seems difficult to understand here

So, yes it can be done, even w/out a 8 man league

Got to be one in every crowd I guess, RB ranking for these guys prior to draft 16. LeSean McCoy RB PHI 27. Ahmad Bradshaw RB NYG 72. Peyton Hillis ADP -37. LeSean McCoy 71. Ahmad Bradshaw 243. Peyton Hillis
 
I could bench him for Tolbert or Torain...but how can you bench Peterson? He had almost 30 points the week prior.
Tolbert has been pretty much rock solid since being given a chance. In my league, he's outscored AP 3 out of the last 4 weeks. Not saying with certain that I'm going this way but Tolbert lately has been at least consistant what AP seems to be feast or famine.

for all of those weeks aside from this week Ryan Mathews was out. This week they split touches right down the middle to similar results.
 
8-9 guys in the box may actually help a guy like Peterson - will lead to a couple of big plays when he gets into the secondary.

I'd rather the game be indoors, but I don't think you sit Peterson even against the Bears. Bears have given up 100+ yards the last three games, and are middle of the pack with 11 TDs allowed.

 
Everybody is so caught up in not wanting to possibly miss a 30 point week, but what if he had a 3 point week? This is the playoffs, you take calculated risks; let your opponents do the opposite. If you win by .5 points, guess what? Last time I checked that's still a victory.
