Adrian Peterson???

JunioR · 11-14-2005, 11:32 AM

Thinking of picking him up and dropping Mewelde Moore. Moore played only on special teams this week but did have a PR for TD. My other backs are Shaun Alexander, Rudi Johnson, and Willie Parker, just looking to add some depth. Good idea or bad idea???? Samkon Gado also available and thought of adding him.

Don't add Peterson. He was only a fill in until Jones gets back. If you are gonna drop Moore...which I might not do...then Gado is a sure fire pickup. No one knows how long Fisher will be out...but if this kid keeps going, I doubt they put fisher back in.

Gado should not be on the free agent market in any league right now.

i picked him up and played him this week - gamble paid off pretty big... thomas jones will PROBABLY be back, however if he doesnt feel great or gets his bell rung...

Thomas Jones will be back this week, and should be fine.

Gado is hot right now! Moore only did special teams because he has a sprained hand and will most likely be back at the start in a week or two. If Tice is smart Moore will be the main back the rest of season drop parker and pick up Gado.

Another suggestion is Ciatrick Fason of Minny. Moore being banged up, and Bennett being not solid...you may see him getting carries later this season. Keep an eye on him.

Gado got picked up before I could get to him. Still weighing options. Thanks for all the inputs!!!

Unless you get PR yards, the Minn RB's are a waste of time, who do you start ? along with the Cowboys RB's , apparantly Parcells is now calling his RB tandem the "1-2 Punch" whatever that means, and I can't believe after a Fantasy performance like that on Sunday, that Gado was not grabbed right away ? anyways too bad you couldn't get him, he's finishing out the year as the starter

Listen to Phicinfan, and what we have both been saying since the preseason. If you have room for Fason, stick him on your roster. Fason has now become the teams short yardage/goalline back. He has more overall potential than any runningback on that team, and I would not be suprised to see him break a couple 3-1's into some nice gains. When he does, Tice will have to notice and consider getting the guy in the lineup more.

Mewelde Moore still cannot block worth a damn. I think it is just a matter of time before the Vikings give Fason a shot.
