Peterson vs. Green Bay this week (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

Most of the experts are saying ADP has become a must start every week, but Green Bay has been tough against RB's so far. Will he have a subpar week?

 

[Power Monster]

I think that he will keep it going at home.

Peterson owner and Packers fan here. I think we'll see the Packers sell out to stop Peterson (and Taylor) the same way they sold out against LT and the Chargers last week. The Vikings' passing game is pathetic so I fully expect to see the Packers crowd the line of scrimmage and use run blitzes to try to get penetration and stop Peterson (and Taylor) from getting anything going. The flipside is the Vikings are a very good running team. They have a strong offensive line so even if the Packers sell out there's a chance the Vikings can spring their RBs for some big gains. There's no question in my mind this is the pivotal matchup of the game - the Packers' D line vs. the Vikings' O line.

In PPR leagues, I think Peterson will remain a Must Start this week because he should be good for 3-4 receptions and we've seen how productive he is as a receiver. Like LT last week, that may be his best chance to score unless he gets a shot from near the goal line - which could happen off a turnover or special teams play (two things the Vikings do well).

I'm tempering my expectations for Peterson this week. I think we're looking at 60-70 yards rushing, 3-4 receptions for another 30-40 yards and 0 TDs.

well thought out reply, thank you. I tend to agree with you. Im downgrading ADP slightly; I might bench him...

LT only got 60 yards rushing with Rivers throwing for 300 yards and 3 TD's, I doubt Peterson will be able to get more than 30-40 yards rushing this week, if that.

I think that's the floor for his rushing totals. In standard scoring leagues I'm not as high on Peterson as I normally would be. But in PPR leagues I still like him as a RB2 because I think he'll be active in the passing game. The Vikings clearly have to get him the ball if they want to win this game so if he can't get it running I expect them to try to get him involved (perhaps significantly) as a receiver.

You look at this in FAR too linear of a fashion. Things don't work out like that. Different runners, different scenarios. First, the Minny oline is far superior to the SD oline thus far this year. The SD oline has been flat-out disappointing thus far. Second, I would argue that AD has a larger role in the Minny offense than LT did vs GB. As crazy as that sounds, SD can move the ball without LT. Minny hardly can move the ball without going through their RB.

Then, add to that the home factor, the matchup factor (two teams that know each other), and you just can't take that LT performance as a barometer.

Perhaps not but I think it's a good gauge. Yes the Vikings' line is better, but LT is a better RB than Peterson in my opinion and there's no question Rivers is a much more talented QB than Holcomb. And yet, the Chargers could never get LT going even though Rivers had a productive day throwing the ball. If the Vikings can't generate anything through the air - and why would anyone think they can? - that will only put more pressure on the running game and the Packers will bring even more heat. LT was in a much better situation to succeed last week and he got little on the ground. So while I definitely agree the Vikings' offensive line is superior and gives Peterson a shot, I think the Packers' aggressive approach and the Vikings lack of a passing game will make it difficult for him to get a lot going on the ground. I think his best bet to produce will be as a receiver.

I think he's saying just the opposite. He'll have to do proportionally more than LT had to do since there are fewer weapons around him. Even if it's at 3ypc they may have to keep pushing the run.But as always, there's no real way to accurately forecast games to the extent we're trying to here, we can only give a broad range of scenarios. In most of those scenarios, the Vikings will have to push the run game while on offense...whether leading or trailing.

So, um, let me explain my thoughts further since you got lost in that last one. The fact that Minny can't move the ball without their RBs actually means more likely touches for them than LT had. It means that instead of having the QB throw for 300+ yards to many targets, he'll throw for less, but more of those passing yards will go to RBs. Will the offense move as well as SD did? Probably not. Will the RBs get as much or more action as LT did? I'm willing to bet yes. So no, I don't agree that they "won't do much".

The bolded is not good for projecting. You're basically saying it's impossible to get a TD.0.5-0.6 TDs is more like it for actual projection purposes.

I can agree with that. I think he'll still produce, but also think that more than half of it will come through the air. I have the GB Defense, so I have been getting a good idea of their abilities. I'm definitely impressed, and expect them to win the North this year (painful admission for this Bears fan).

I didn't know I had to give an exact projection. Seriously, I'd say his chances are less than 0.5 to score. I'm a huge Peterson fan but I do think he'll perform worse than he has to date. Not only will Taylor be back to possibly start and definitely get touches but I think the Packers will make it their mission to shut him down just as they made it their mission to shut down LT last week. And to the post above that the Vikings may run the ball more than the Chargers did, that could be true and yes that would give the Vikings' RBs more chances to succeed. But then it comes down to whether they can succeed. If they can't throw the ball they may end up with quite a few short drives whereas the Chargers were keeping their offense on the field more due to Rivers' production. And his ability to keep drives moving eventually helped get LT in the end zone as a receiver.

This is what I'd like to know from you. 0.0 tells me nothing. Telling me it's less than a 50% chance to score even once helps a bit more.

[Voice Of Reason]

It isn't a good matchup, but I wouldn't downgrade Peterson that much.

I expect the Minn OL to play at a much higher level at home vs GB than SD's did @ GB. And if GB completely sells out on the run, Minnesota is probably dead, but I'd expect Peterson to get loose at least once and they'll be no one at the 2nd and 3rd level. He may get most of his yards on one or two runs, but I'd expect him to have a decent game.

to beat this horse some more... I would think he proportionately has less to do than LT. His line should balance the player performance. Unlike Rivers the MIN passing game is shot. Maybe ADP will have to toss one in like LT! He'll succeed in the passing game especially if he becomes a safety valve (which he should be recognized as by now).70yds rush60yds 6/rec0 TDs (Mewelde will get the goalline... my luck)

The Pack will shut him down All Day. They have no passing game what so ever. 11 in the box. Don't even cover the WR's.

Neither the Packers nor the Vikings have given up a rushing td this season, despite facing Westbrook, L Tomlinson, and Larry Johnson. I don't see much going on the ground this Sunday in the humpty dome.

Big day Sunday for A-Pete (he needs another nickname). :(

16 carries, 137 yards, breaks his first 60+ yarder for a TD.

Add in 4 receptions for 34 yards.

Mark it down.

All this is assuming Holcomb QBs. All bets off if it's Jackson.

I didnt know this was a league based on the transitive property. ie if Player X rushed for Y amount of yards vs the Lions he should run for Y/2 amount of yards vs GB.

That's because some wannabe fantasy football god like you pissed up my leg for not having my scoring system in a post when I was trying to get help with who to start. I know a guy like you would never need any help, but some of us mere mortals do. Get over yourself.

Christ. This is too much.Note: I know this is making me come off like an ###, but I can't help it. I'm near tears in my office right now.

Big day Sunday for A-Pete (he needs another nickname). 16 carries, 137 yards, breaks his first 60+ yarder for a TD.Add in 4 receptions for 34 yards.Mark it down.All this is assuming Holcomb QBs. All bets off if it's Jackson.

He couldn't even do that against Detroit getting 90% of the carries...How the heck is he going to do it against Green Bay sharing carries. I just don't get it.

He got over 110 total yards and missed a TD by 1 foot vs DET, so its not that unbelievable

I didnt know this was a league based on the transitive property. ie if Player X rushed for Y amount of yards vs the Lions he should run for Y/2 amount of yards vs GB.

You are correct. Being a Lions fan, if I see them hold anyone under most people's expectations it is usually a good measure of what they will do when facing a real NFL team. It sucks but you gotta stick with your team, even if it takes a few decades to make the playoffs.

Shutting down Peterson is holding him to 100 total yards and no TD. That guy IS the Viking offense.

GB got ran on by Derrick Ward in their only game on the road. Eventhough I like the Pack's defense, it wouldn't surprise me if that becomes a bit of a trend.

if people are benching him, who is it for? I love peterson as much as the next guy but Im thinking Tjones might be a better play this week vs Buffalo. Thoughts on Jones or others that should start over Peterson?

I am toying with starting Maroney over Peterson, but my good judgement will make me start AP. Cincy has a horrible run D, but until the Pats give Maroney some goalline love or receptions, AP will start for me.

Sep 26 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears RB Adrian Peterson (calf) had partial participation in practice Wednesday, Sept. 26.

We're talking about AD here.

Okay...I'm an idiot. It was actually flagged next to ADP on my Yahoo. I have been trying to find more.

Peterson owner and Packers fan here. I think we'll see the Packers sell out to stop Peterson (and Taylor) the same way they sold out against LT and the Chargers last week. The Vikings' passing game is pathetic so I fully expect to see the Packers crowd the line of scrimmage and use run blitzes to try to get penetration and stop Peterson (and Taylor) from getting anything going.

LT only got 60 yards rushing with Rivers throwing for 300 yards and 3 TD's, I doubt Peterson will be able to get more than 30-40 yards rushing this week, if that.

Coming from the AP hater I would expect nothing less. Meaningless post.

The only "AP hater" I know of is Childress -

Wednesday update from RotoWorld:

Vikings coach Brad Childress again confirmed that Chester Taylor is his starting running back when healthy.

"Chester is the starter," Childress re-announced.

Sorry, but at best its RBBC for AD. His days of getting 20+ touches are long gone. Feel free to shoot the messenger, but I ain't the guy making the decision to stop giving him the ball.
