Cardinals have averaged 2.6 ypc, TB has allowed 3.4 ypc, and Peterson has averaged 3.0 ypc this season. Cardinals RBs have scored 1 TD between them out of 131 combined touches. TB has allowed 1 rushing TD to a RB. Peterson has not scored a TD in his last 152 touches. I would take the under on 80 yards and a TD.

I’m not expecting that at all. And I meant to say OR not AND.
At this point he’s just the best option I have and he looks (on paper and coach speak) to be getting more touches than the rest of those guys.
I could make a case for any of the guys on my bench to be a better start over him.

I just picked him up as a free agent (he went through waivers). I'm not expecting much, but it was between him and Alfred Morris. I don't know what'll happen with Elliott, but I want no part of a Morris/McFadden timeshare should Ezekiel's ruling be overturned by the Fifth Circuit.

To put it more simple. AP was not startable on the saints roster FF wise. Now I believe he is at least startable.
What he does with those touches is TBD.

I think Anarchy makes a good point about Tampa being a strong run defense.
They are pretty bad in coverage but they have been one of the best run defenses for a couple years now.
Not a good formula for Peterson match up wise.

Felt the same way watching the snake under center when he had nothing but fumes left

Tampa looks to be full strength on defense finally too. Kwon Alexander, LaVonte David, and TJ Ward all practiced yesterday.Biabreakable said:

Asking for a friend: If Tampa D is on waivers, pick them up? How good are they?
eta* Never mind, just did. Held NE to 19 and getting guys back is enough for me.

Should be a nice pickup. Bills next week. Miami and the Jets soon too. They're a different team with Kwon on the field.
Rove!

He looks just a wee bit happier on the AZ sideline.

Glad Peterson is doing well. I'm a bit surprised as this match up should have been difficult.
As I have said many times, Peterson is not a guy I would ever bet against. Good for him.

Sell high. Tampa's D did not show up.

There's no way you can watch this guy run right now and says he's washed or done.
I hope to trade him for Kareem Hunt. Future HOF for a Rookie that had a few great games. It should work, right?
So in my 12 team league .5 ppr I drafted him in the 8th round. An afterthought. I had David Johnson and Zeke with Carlis Hyde as a backup.
Fast forward:
Johnson on IR
Zeke suspended
Hyde losing touches
Two weeks ago I got tired of AP and dropped him?
Still 4-1 with a decent lead this week.
That’s FF for you.

It would help for context if you could post your full league rules, as well full draft results

I doubted him at 32. Looks like he'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder.

Okay. Maybe there's a problem with some Vikings/Saints coaching...

I was happy for Peterson. He was probably happy as hell after that performance. Above all, that man loves to play. That had to feel great going out there and proving everybody wrong.

We had an owner who blew his remaining FAAB on Peterson. I questioned it. Looks like may have been worth it. Unfortunately for him he just lost Aaron Rodgers and has 3 other GB players.

Seems to me he’s always played with a chip on his shoulder.
I admit I doubted him too, about whether he had anything left. Should absolutely have known never to underestimate this guy.

An aside.. Might be a good week to acquire Andre Ellington for a song. The Cards obviously will not be playing with a big lead every week and ADP is still not going to catch any passes.

That's my feeling. AP loves to play football.WiDDoW_MaKeR said:

Come on guys, this game was just an anomaly. Take away his 3 longest runs, and his YPC was just 3.4. He's totally overrated.
