Peterson vs. the Lions (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

So you'd think I'd be about being an ADP owner heading into a playoff game tomorrow.

Well, yeah..... but I'm playing against Chris Johnson who faces the Browns, and they have also packed it in for the year.

I might NEED 300 yards out of Peterson just to offset CJ!

Hopefully the dreadful Lions can somehow manage to put some points on the board so AD isn't in the hot tub by the 3rd quarter.

 

[soxjj]

I personally am hoping to see Chester Taylor get a some exta carries tomorrow. Both Titan RBs had big days at the Lions on Thanksgiving.

 

[Cookiemonster]

I'd be worried about Chilli giving Peterson the DAY OFF! The Detroit defense is as bad of a unit as I have seen on a professional football field. Chester could have over 200 yards on this one.

The Vikes have a real shot at the playoffs, and if they make it they'll have to lean on ADP 25-30 times a game. Rest him now, if you can. Some short-field 'Pepper fumbles and a quick lead by Minny could spell week 14 death for us Peterson owners.

Luckily, I have Lil'Johnson too.

 

[awesomeness]

Null vote. under 100.

 

[The Man Who Met Andy Griffith]

Not even an option for < 100? He barely got 100 at home the last time they played.

 

[Das Boot]

< 100

 

[Raider Nation]

I'd be worried about Chilli giving Peterson the DAY OFF!

"AD, step into my office when you get a minute.......I know you are the NFL's rushing leader and everything, but I'm giving you the day off today."Please.

 

[Das Boot]

I think they'll have AD on a 100 yard pitch count tomorrow.

 

[thatguy]

I think he'll put up in the neighborhood of 135-140 on about 20 carries. Should be good for a score or two.

 

[Ripleys]

only his idiot head coach and keep him under 200 yards tomorrow.

 

[ScottNorwood]

1 million yards

Now you are just talking silly.

It is effectively impossible for Peterson to come close to a record breaking game with the current Viking's system. They pull him on all 3rd downs and give Taylor about 15% of the carries. He'll probably get in the range of 140-150 yards. I would be surprised if be was under 110, though.

The bolded part is simply untrue. 3rd and 3 yards or more, I would agree. Just last week, AD scored a TD on a 3rd & 1.

 

[comfortably numb]

152 1TD

CT

89 2TD

 

[Da Guru]

ADP wil probably have a busy quarter and a half then he may be out of there.

100-130 at least one TD.

Chet Taylor will put up the same or better.

 

[North]

120 yards at the half. Chester 150 yards in the second half.

Thats my guess but with Childress you run the risk of ADP not even playing. He was given a day of of practice earlier inthe week for an undisclosed reason, whatever that means??

 

[Gopher State]

This is a typical trap game for the Vikings

Coming off of big win over Bears

In first place

Media circus with the William boys this week

Playing against Pepper who will be fired up to play against his own team

I can see Chilly not playing this game to the vest with AP

I can see AP coming short this week in a upset special

No team has ever gone 0-16?

I hope for AP to go 160 with 2TD's

 

[Fantaholic]

The problem is that this has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with what Childress decides to do with AP. I had CJ agianst Detroit on Turkey Day and was so frustrated because he could have had 5 TD's and 300 yards. But, it becomes a question of "how much class does the opposing coach have" against the pitiful Lions. There is no doubt that AP would hang 200 plus and 3-4 td's, if he's allowed to run all game. Perhaps we can get a rumor going right now that will create a headline for tomorrow that reads, "Marinelli seen groping Childress' wife at local bar." What do you think?

 

[gebz306]

1 million yards

Kazillion, fa fillion yards!

 

[gebz306]

I wouldnt put it past Childress to #### all fantasy owners and Keep AP under 70yds

 

[North]

I also looked into contract incentives for Peterson that might persuade Childress to let him run wild but ADP has pretty much met the #'s for escalators in his contract already. The only way he can reach more $$ is if he reaches the 2,000 yard mark, for which he needs 595 combined yards over his last 4 games.

If I were Peterson I would be angling for the opportunity to reach 2,000 yards rushing alone. He needs 689 yards over his last 4 games which is doable vs. Detroit, Az, Atl, and NYG. If given the opportunity he could hang 200 on both Det. and Arz., which means he would need 289 vs Atl and a NY team that will probably be resting starters for the playoffs. I don't think it would be pushing him too much and I don't think it would tire him for the playoffs. Come on Childress, it would be an extra million for the guy, let him get it! Plus if he did do it he might win MVP which would give him another 250,000.

Huh?11/4/07 vs SD-- Taylor got ~25% of the carries on the same day Peterson set the record.Not saying he'll break the record today, but to say it's 'effectively impossible' is asanine.

a few things have to break right for AD owners - a couple long runs early (ala Chris Johnson last week), Detroit manages to keep it close, and Chili decides he wants to make history. My guess is AD and CT end up with about the same # of yards (125-150), but AD does it on a lot less carries.

 

[gonzobill5]

666 yards, he's a BEAST

 

[3Aims]

What, no less than 100 yards option?

 

[Nigel Incubator-Jones]

Under 100...

 

[Sanitarium]

I'm curious how many of you may be starting AP and Chester together. And I wonder who you may be starting Chester over. I'm sure a bunch of AP owners have Chester as a handcuff, and starting both effectively gives you the whole Vikes RB production against the pitiful Lions.

--Obviously, the Vikes should be able to run up and down the field

--Starting both LenDale and C Johnson would have worked out pretty well last week

--Starting Chester with AP protects against the blowout and AP getting pulled when game is out of hand

--Since AP was a bit hobbled, Childress would be inclined to pull AP when game gets out of hand

--I think I am starting Chester over Ronnie B and MJD

--My sense is it makes more sense to start Chester with AP than if you if you only have Chester on your rister without AP

Anybody else following same strategy? If so, who are you starting Chester over?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Vikings could get ahead early and Peterson may only have 15 carries or so because Childress will want to protect him. I would be nervous about that. I will guess a little over 100 yards and maybe a TD.

My other options are guys who, on paper, are the no. 1 back this week but in reality may not see more carries than Taylor. Grant, Dunn and Pierre Thomas, FWIW.

At some point here in the FF playoffs, that is definitely going to happen, and the odds should say that it would be most likely to happen against an opponent they can dominate early. All signs say that'd be starting this week, if not at all for the rest of the year.Like Adrian last year though, he could rack up 100 and a TD in the 1st half and then get the bench time rest Chilly wants him to have. Nobody is sitting him, either way. I'm just hoping he is able to get multiple touchdowns if his touches are limited by the time the game is under control.

He had 111 yds on 25 carries in their 1st meeting at home and near everyone in this thread seems to think he will get limited touches this time around. How is it NOT even a possibility is the real question.

Yeah, he had a bad game with two fumbles, but he still broke the hundred yard mark. He's the lead's leading rusher against the league's worst rushing defense, it would be an oddity if they held him under 100 yards, even if Childress limits his touches.

The Vikings rank second in the NFL with 16 rushes of at least 20 yards, while the Lions have given up an NFL-high 19 runs of at least that distance

 

[Burning Sensation]

Kevin Smith puts up better numbers than AD today, and the Lions beat the Vikings, you heard it hear first.

Yes, i am being serious.

I would not sit him either.

You cant possibly think 300 yards is more likely than rushing for less than 100?

No, I don't. I don't think that he has less than 100 yards here, and I think most posters here saying as such are just wishful thinkers who can't really back up that argument. My question was "What is realistic about >100 yards against the Lions?" The answer was limited touches. Even with limited touches, the Vikings are 2nd in the league in long runs, with the Lions being worst in the league in giving them up. Adrian will be benched long before he would have an opportunity to reach 300 yards.

Yeah, I feel almost compelled to start Chester to protect against a Vikes blowout in which Peterson gets pulled.

 

[Fantaholic]

Wouldn't it be nice if you have AP and your playoff opponent has Chester, and he outscores you. I can see myself smashing my TV set today.

I completely agree with this and I am a Peterson owner. This just feels like a game where he will not be needed.

I completely hear you. Especially since you don't have Chester rotting away on your bench (as I have all year just expecting AP to go down at some point). If your opponent starts Chester he/she is just evil. And you will have every right to smash that TV.

Of course not.I also left out the "Zero yards..... he will miss the game because he has to wash his hair" option.

 

[Sinn Fein]

only his idiot head coach and keep him under 200 yards tomorrow.

Which is why there should be a <100 optionNo way Chilly lets him past the 100 yard marker - unless he breaks a big one when he has 70 yards or so.This game will be over early, and taylor will likely have better numbers than ADP. Hope I'm wrong since I have him in 2 leagues, but Chilly will keep him under wraps today - unless Detroit somehow makes a game of it. In which case, chilly will keep him on the sidelines, "because we had to pass more".
