Adrian Peterson

Did anyone else start him this week despite all the ''expert'' opinions. I picked him up in the third round and wow I don't regret it. He rushed for 2 TD's and around 85 yards despite tearing his ACL late last year. Anyone else with AP that is excited for hopefully a blowout year in the stat book. Without his injury last year there is no way I could have gotten him in the third. He is going to get my team a W for the week. Thanks Peterson!

I tried getting him in the 2nd round of every draft I was in but never was able to get him. He looked good and I would have started him also.

Yeah I got him and mjd, kept him on my bench this week though expecting him to be limited. The guy I'm playing against had too many people who happened to blow up this week (Ryan, Garcon, Marshall, Akers) and I had too many people underperform (buffalo def., hartley, Deangelo williams the bum), so AP's 20 points wouldn't have made a difference for me in this particular match up. Although I still have Torrey Smith and Eric Decker to play, and so if they can magically get me 60 points between the two of them then I can still win

[Free Agent]

I have Peterson, but I benched him this week in favor of Matt Forte, who still had an excellent game, and Ray Rice. But I'll be starting Peterson in the flex from now on. He's back and looking good out there.

Yep, I started him. Was expecting 15 carries, 75 yards and a TD, so I wasn't too far off

I also had him on my bench. Totally blew it this week. But it's my first year doing fantasy, so every time I mess something like that up I learn from it. He won't be on the bench for week 2. I thought Peyton Hillis would do OK and he totally crapped out.

[Gordo52]

I'm so happy for him. I can't believe he fell 21st to me. I didn't believe for one second he was done.

I drafted Doug Martin before him.

Do I regret it? Maybe... It's a medical miracle for him to recover to his playmaking form after 8 months. However, I think he will be on a carry limit. As for Martin, Tampa is trying to give him 400 touches, which means I will get my points even if he doesn't smell the endzone.
