Thread: Adrian Peterson

I have AD in three fantasy leagues, 5th round in one and 6th in two.


He's gonna go for around 110 yards rushing with a short TD run, and about 30 yards receiving I would think.
Shaun Rogers is a beheast, and Cory Redding is solid...I was going back and forth to the kitties/raiders game and they said Marinelli thinks his "defensive line can be the best in the League."
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see it.
The Lions defense will not be what limits our ground game...the offense's ability to score is a much bigger factor.

Nice, I got him in two.
5th round in one, 6th round in another.
And so far, looks to be a steal.
I also got Ronald Curry late, like 13th round and 16th round in both leagues.
The hamstring scares me, and I had him on the bench week 1, but both moves have me looking pretty smart right now.

He'll rush for under 100.

So far Detroit's rush defense in yards/game is better than ours.

??? What are you smoking?

Where do I even mention Rhodes & Jordan?

I'm refering to rush defense. It has nothing to do with Rhodes or Jordan.
Nothing whatsoever. :-\

I'm basing that on split time with C-Tay. I figure AD will get shy of 100 yards, which is only 10-20 yards lesss than what most of you are predicting.

You are basing Detroit's rush defense on one game, which was against Oakland, which has a rushing attack that comprises of Jordan and Rhodes.

If we stick to the running game I think 150 yards total rushing is doable, in which case Peterson will break the big one, putting him over 100 yards. The big play is the key. Peterson is not Taylor, he acheives big games not through consistent yardage, but through big plays.

Well aren't you basing Peterson's yards off of one game?

Remember, Taylor was out for most of last weeks game & AD got 109 yards. But C-Tay will probably be back this week which means shared duties for the entire game.

Childress already stated that if Taylor is good to go, he will be the starter. If Taylor doesn't play, then AD will probably will get over 100 yards, but as it stands with my prediction, I believe both will be playing, therefore, the number of carries AD will see will be less than last week.

How many less carries will it take to get that 109 under 100? 1-3? Do the math.

Let's hope that they BOTH pop 100 yards next week...it would definitely make things easier on TJack!

Yep. One game Neph. Same as AD's 100 plus yards where he was the main ball carrier for most of the game.
