Chester Taylor will start over Adrian Peterson in Week 4.

 

"Adrian will be in after him," Vikings coach Brad Childress said Friday. Taylor will be active, but is a weak flex consideration against a strong Packers defense. Peterson would be a decent play in non-PPR leagues because he figures to get the goal-line carries and possibly more action overall.

 

Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"RB Chester Taylor (strained oblique) will return to the field after missing two games. “He’ll start the game,” Childress said, “and Adrian [Peterson] will be in after him.”"

:D

Childress is a turd.

 

Also, good call by Childress on Peterson not being in the game last weekend when they needed to drive the field to tie or win. All that brilliant pass protection that Moore provided was very helpful in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sounds more like a Dallas situation to me. Taylor/Jones starts, Peterson/Barber gets the meaningful scoring.

 

I don't think it's a bad thing for Childress to stay conservative with his rookie RB. The guy has had the load thus far, and he has a history of injury. Trying to keep him fresh?

 

I say sit Peterson, give him a breather for week 4. :D

I think it's the smart move - he has to keep Peterson healthy and fresh, and Taylor is a good back when healthy - he showed it already this season. Peterson a little fresher makes him all the more dangerous - he took some solid hits in extended duty in the Chiefs game, and it worried me to see him out there in some of those situations. Moore is still a pretty good 3rd down back.

 

I know what Peterson is, but they shouldn't kill the guy.

1. I think this is 100% true. Again as was said above, team needs to drive for the win late in the 4 Q and their best player BY FAR is on the bench. What does that tell you about Childress? And don't give me pass protection becuase Moore was in on almost every play with a catch or run.

2. AP is still a good # 2. He will get his 15 touches a game IMO. Just may not get 20.

 

Childress is an idiot and ANYONE who thinks this is a bluff is nuts. I would be SHOCKED if Taylor isn't involved if healthy.

I for one :D this decision

 

And it's not because I drafted Taylor and Chris Brown as backups to Brandon Jacobs and Rudi Johnson, and without Chester coming back on-line I would have to start D Ward and M Pittman. Nope, it didn't affect my decision on this move at all..... :D

Even as an AD owner in three leagues, I don't find this to be all that big a deal. Mewelde Moore has gotten plenty of snaps the past two weeks after being inactive in Week One. So Taylor comes back in, Moore goes back to the bench, and it's business as usual for Peterson.

Taylor will get more touches than Moore was getting IMO. I think this situation will be very simialr to the Bush/McAllister one last year. Except I think ADP is a better all around player to handle inside running and outside running as compared to Bush. So that could be a difference that allows ADP to carry more of the load. Time will tell.

Meh...it's not an amazing matchup and the QB situation in Minny is Athenae. I prefer Taylor to take the initial hits against a jacked up D n a divisional matchup. Taylor loosens them up with smart, patient football and ADP rams it down their throats. If Minny ever signs, trades, or drafts an average to good QB they could be scary.

 

I can't wait to see how this shakes out. Starting Lamont over ADP.
