Am I the only person that scared of injuries with Adrian Peterson?

Question

this guy missed 4 games his sophmore year, a huge chunk of his junior year...

then he went pro... and missed two or three more games last year with the vikes...

he's amazing when he's healthy... but overall seems to be a little fragile...

by the way, I did take him in my fantasy draft... so, I'm not too bias.. just worried...

Answer 1

no way man I am pretty sure that sometime this year he could go down but idk we'll see

Answer 2

I think it is right to be concerned about Peterson's durability.  He actually has not played a full season of football in 3-4 years at least.  Of course, when healthy he is a beast, but even then I think the hype might be a little much- the guy's only been in the league one year.  If he puts up the numbers for several years (even if he misses a game or two per year), I can see the hype being justified, but to suggest that he's better than LT after one year is just silly.  

I certainly hope you got Taylor as well...

Answer 3

I have him and then I immediately went to the waivers and got Chester Taylor. He needs to be a handcuff to AP in case AP does get injured. Pick up Taylor as a third back and you should be fine.

Answer 4

if u got chester taylor then ur doing good! But yeah he still is gonna get you a ton of points.
