I'm benching Adrian Peterson for... (1 Viewer)

So I'm reading reports that AP is about 85% and I'm starting to worry a bit. I've been riding Marshawn Lynch and the Beast Mode Train to heaven for the last few weeks. It's hard to bench beast mode for a guy who's billed at less then 100% in a game that figures to be a blow out. I think Saints go up fast and quick and never look back. It's one thing for AP to be active but if their down by 28 at the half do you really think he's going to play in the second half coming off of injury.

Anyone else sending All Day to bench mode?

 
Lynch has a tough matchup anyway. Unless you somehow have Mccoy and Foster or something similar, I don't think you can seriously consider it.

Careful with that. There are some pretty dogmatic Peterson supporters on here that won't take anything other than his reputation into account. He could of course be playing possum with that 85% thing too.
 
When AP plays, you start him. I'd probably even play him at 50% as it would be better than the garbage some of my other RB's put up.

 
Seriously I don't think when it comes to a RB with a ankle sprain 85% correlates to that percentage of production. Of course Im biased cause I have been riding the gerhart train in adp's absence. Just my humble opinion!

 
i know it is not what you meant but if you could actually bench ap you would be one strong burrito my friend take that to the bank

 
Gotta love the guy who tweeted to Peterson yesterday that if AP would just get back in the lineup, he'd send his (supposedly hot) wife to pay Peterson personal visit. :excited:

 
For the record (Not that anyone cares...) I did bench Peterson for Lynch. Could have gone the other way but just goes to show, trust your gut.

Ok, week 16 may be a bit of a different story.

AP looked -ok-, even broke off a 39 yard run (which usually he would have taken to the house I'd say).... and then Min hardly used him after that. It almost looked like they pulled him. And Peterson is complaining they did not use him enough. Just 10 carries. He was 9 for 21 outside the big run, but then again it looked like he was just getting started.

Washington is playing a lot better but Bradshaw & Jacobs still put up decent numbers on them, 91 total rushing yards and TD.

I did not start Peterson week 15 but may this week; I'm guessing many did do the opposite last week but may do the opposite this week?

Thoughts on prospects? Encouraging? Devastating? What?
