michaelredd9 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I can see bidding the house to get Peterson. He has already been named starter. Sometimes a fantasy team has complete junk at running back. It's not like wide receiver where you can just pick someone up and have them do well. A fantasy team that is 1-4 and doesn't have 2 starting running backs is in a dire situation. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think the bigger mistake fantasy owners often make is holding on to their FAAB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know AP is a volume guy, so it was never going to work the way Payton constantly shifts backs in an out of rotation. Also the saints played 3 of the top 10 run defenses in their 4 games, Miami (2) Carolina (9) Minny(10), and then vs New England they fell behind and went pass heavy. I'm by no means saying AD is gonna be reborn but the consensus seems to be that he's 100% finished, and the line in AZ is bad.. my argument is that the sample size to evaluate that he is finished is really not good, and this wouldn't be the first time he has run behind a bad online. You could argue that other than the year with Brett Favre, this may be the best offense overall given the WR depth and sad to say, Palmer is likely the 2nd (if you exclude Brees) best QB he's ever played with also and the defense is pretty good as well.

Mag112 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It doesnt matter what he has left to offer. Were not going to see more than 2 yrds a carry. Hes running behind the worst O-line in NFL.

Courduroy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks. Although I'm not sure I trust a source that can't even get a teams record correct, plus zero discussion that Johnson had his cast removed Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
