    Adrian Peterson

    I'm in a keeper league. Should I keep him or keep no one and have an extra 1st round pick.

    Tough call. I'd say dump him. One hell of an injury to come back from and I don't think he bounces back to his old self.

    I'd be concerned that he's going to push himself to play before he should and get hurt again.

    I'm thinking the same thing. He should take all the time he needs, because it isn't like the Vikings are going anywhere this season.

    I would probably drop him, but it is a tough call Mint.

    It looks like it's going to be a 10 team. Looking at other teams it looks like foster or Brady and brees or rice might be available.

    I'd drop him, too risky as a keeper to anchor your roster.

    I'd take Rice or Foster over him, definitely. Is there a chance you can draft either of them? Trade for them?

    I guess it depends on where he goes in the draft as there might be some reward. I just can't have a number 1 pick be a question mark IMO.

    If I understand the question correctly the answer should be obvious. You would essentially be "trading" AP for a first round pick, so it's an EASY call to dump his ass. Let someone else make the mistake of drafting him before the sixth round.

    I think it definitely depends on who else is being kept and who would be available if you did dump him, but like others have mentioned, he's a big injury risk.

    It doesn't really matter that much because I have him in the 60s on my overall board and around the 20th running back, so he is not worth sacrificing a first round pick for no matter what.

    We are not in 2009 any more. AP is a wasted pick this year. Let's see how he does next year.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


    basically everything my bro just said, I don't have him in my 60s more like 30's but still no way in hell I'm keeping him if i can get a 1st rounder for dumping him. No brainer - even 2nd rounder I'd dump -

    But that's the point, he won't be. He may not see the field until October. If he plays earlier than that, it may not be pretty.

    ok which makes it worse, vikings are not going to be a good team. I am sure that he will have some great games and if he dont get hurt then maybe it is not bad cause their offense is going to be on the field a lot

    Thanks again, I think what im gonna do is let AP go draft a stud rb/qb and then draft ap in the 2nd or 3rd round. I believe AP is a freak.of nature and will bounce back sooner then people think.
