Thoughts on Adrian Peterson this season

[MidCoast]

Is he gonna be a beast or not? I think he will be HUGE for Fantasy Football...

[ozzie]

only time will tell!!!! I like his potential and the guy has moves...see preseason run with the spin!!

[walleyes12]

just an optimitic prediction: 1200 yards 9tds

[jbell1981]

I sure hope, cause I drafted him in my ff league.

I picked up chester taylor later in my fantasy draft to compliment LJ and Duece. Does Chester have any fantasy value this year with Adrian in the picture ?

[walleyeking19]

chester taylor will start at the beginning of the year, but won't get as many carries as he did last year. But if Peterson can stay healthy he should have a good year.

Either Peterson or Marshawn Lynch is going to be the stud rookie RB

[Trainman]

Solid performance by Peterson today. Not surprise that the scoring was done on defense though. Moss had 183 hards for NE today. Those were days.

Nice game for both players. 90+ yards and a score for each.

I hate to be negative following a win but I wouldn't expect that kind of production out of Peterson all year. He'll get his touches and TDs no doubt, but losing Chester Taylor in the first quarter set the table for him. We'll see how things go the rest of the year. Maybe he'll get more carries now.

I thought he looked really good. Glad to see he was able to go the full length without C.T. out there. Only good things to come from the #1 running back in the draft.

Looks like Peterson will be decent this year... If Vikings can ever get their passing game going, Peterson will be solid, I think.

As for chester, he MAY have lost his starting job... I doubt it, but he will lose a lot of carries to Peterson...
