So now that AP is a Viking, when does he have value (1 Viewer)

He's got a lot to like, but is still unproven at the pro-level. So when does Peterson become a smart shark pick in 12-team redraft leagues?

This really depends on how they deploy him. Taking a guy top 7 should mean feature back status, but Chet Taylor was solid last year. I think that he will be in another Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams or Thom Jones/Ced Benson style quagmires, so taking him anywhere before the 5th round is suicide. The 5th rounder is if it looks like he has enough pass blocking in him to get on the field a bunch.

Chester Taylor really hit a wall last year and with AD's injury history I really see Childress employing the wonderful RBBC to keep AD injuryfree in 2007

Would be a huge mistake. AD dominates as most great backs do as the game goes on. In the the 4th qtr you can almost here the defenders saying "####, not him again." He is going to be turned loose on that fast track.I am guessing CT comes in to spell him for 5-7 runs a game. What is his contract situation ?What say Vikes s ?

He probably won't be around for the "smart shark pick", which in my opinion would be around the late mid/late 5th round as an upper-tier #3. My personal experience is that SOMEONE in your league will be willing to gamble on him as their #2. Don't be that guy - not in his first year.
