SpinalTapp Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have not heard any news on this issue so I assume Taylor goes into the season as the starter. Has there been any talk about workload split to start the season? How will this play out early and then later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Cornelius Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Taylor is the week one starter but im sure AP will be in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 dont know i would imagine it all depends on how the game goes The only question is, who will have more TDs this weekend - - Peterson & Taylor or the Vikings defense off of Harrington INTs.

Avernus Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) the "PFW Whispers 9/1" thread mentioned they would both be out there at the same time.... edit: and AP would get more of the passes...

Imageek Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have them both and I still have no idea which one to start. Please will someone from Minnesota give your two cents on this situation. I might just have to scrap both for Jerius Norwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually contemplating starting both Taylor and Peterson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please will someone from Minnesota give your two cents on this situation. I might just have to scrap both for Jerius Norwood. Peterson is definitely going to get touches because he is a playmaker, but I would give it a game or two to see how it unfolds. Pre-season was pretty vanilla and Taylor didn't play that much. I think the carries might be 50/50 for a while. Just think what it was like in Philly a while back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the week to go with Norwood JMHO I got Peterson, Norwood, Brandon Jackson and Lamont Jordan as my RBs (auction gone bad). I am starting Lamont and Peterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogohawk Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Gosh ... this is starting to sound like a "Who do I start?" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imageek Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think I am going with Chester Taylor and Steven Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystykoekaki Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Taylor > Peterson if you want yards Peterson > Taylor if you want any chance at a TD. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Taylor > Peterson if you want yardsPeterson > Taylor if you want any chance at a TD. JMHO. you forgot to add Peterson for the receiving yds...and better chance for an explosive play.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecure Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 you forgot to add Peterson for the receiving yds...and better chance for an explosive play.. So do you think Peterson gets enough touches to warrant a #2 RB spot, vs. another RBBC player like Fred Taylor. I want to start Peterson. I drafted knowing I'd have issues in the first few weeks, but if you think he gets passes out of the backfield then for me it's a no brainer in PPR league. Any thoughts?

TRU SOLDJA 22 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm starting Taylor at RB3 and looking for 80yards and a TD with 3 rec I Expect the same from AP though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Gosh ... this is starting to sound like a "Who do I start?" thread. Just to clarify I wasnt asking who to start. I told him my roster and stated who I will be starting to emphasize that I think Norwood is a bad play this week. Now that I got that out of the way pick 2 Roy Williams Larry Fitz David Boston (just kiddding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmann Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think this will be similar to the situation in Indy last year. Taylor put up some decent #'s no doubt. However AP is the game breaker and the future. I would say it will be a 60-40 split for Taylor to start. But by week 5-6 AP will have earned his touches and will probably be a monster the final weeks of the season. He is just that good. It will be a slower transition that most think. But again I stress that after week 5 or 6 AP will be the hands down player to own and start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 So do you think Peterson gets enough touches to warrant a #2 RB spot, vs. another RBBC player like Fred Taylor. I want to start Peterson. I drafted knowing I'd have issues in the first few weeks, but if you think he gets passes out of the backfield then for me it's a no brainer in PPR league. Any thoughts? well in the thread that i mentioned...it said they plan on using his pass catching abilities with him and Chester sharing the backfield at the same time... starting him over Fred taylor can be risky...but I'd just play the matchups... by week 4 you should have a good idea where you want to go.... week 1....play the matchups the best you can with what little info you have about how things will go..

Outshined Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Childress on Sirus radio today: Childress on the plan for RBs Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson: “Well, you know what you do during training camp is you look and see what plays they take a look at the best and you want to make sure that you’re getting them on the field with their best stuff. Obviously, the goal is they look at it all the same but the truth is different guys look at different plays different ways. And so, yeah, we’ve got an idea of how we want to use [Adrian] and how we want to use Chester with him.” Sounds like they are already game planning around Adrian....

Square Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 For what its worth, I'm starting AP week 1. My first matchup isn't that tough and I think he will get enough touches to perform as the flex player I'm using him for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
