Answer 1

Keep Adrian Peterson because Peyton Manning has a knee injury and will be out for 4 regular season games and that will effect his game when he does get to play again.

Answer 2

I'd say Adrian Peterson - despite some concerns over injury he is a young player who will be the franchise player for the Vikings for years to come and should be an elite fantasy back.  Mannings elbow injury slightly worries me and he is still the #2 fantasy QB behind Brady - given AP's rare combination of size, strength, speed, and ferocious downhill running ability I wouldn't be surprised to see him supplant LT as the premier fantasy player in football; as it is he's already ranked #2 on almost every draft board after 1 year of NFL play.  Even though in this league passing TD's are worth five, AP's yardage numbers (especially the bonuses for yardage) make him incredibly attractive.

Answer 3

keeep ap.... you dont no how good peyton manning will be after he gets of of his injury

Answer 4

It seems like rushing is worth more in your league than passing. Even if it wasnt I would still say AP b/c AP is going to go in pick number 2 in almost every league and Peyton might go around pick 14. AP, no contest.

Answer 5

I would keep Manning, less chances of injury, more categories to score points in, will be in every offensive play barring injury, and people will be putting 8 men in the box to stop AP this year and force Tavarius Jackson to win with his arm.

Answer 6

Based on the scoring it looks more geared to a running back.  That -.5 for incomplete pass would hurt a lil and -2 for an intercep.  There's no negatives for RB's.  Based on AP's average yds game last yr, u would get about 45 pts on yardage alone.  Peyton's yd's passing avg per game you're getting about 20.  Peyton avg'd bout 2 td's a game there's 10 pts.  AP prob will avg lil over 1 a game (6pts).   I think peyton would be a safer choice but if AP stays healthy and Jackson can produce AP will score more points for you than peyton will.

Answer 7

no question.  keep AP.  If you have a top tier RB, always keep them over QB.  Just the extra point for rush tds over pass tds makes that a definite.

Answer 8

adrian petersoin, no doubt, manning is looking a little iffy

Answer 9

AP!  I like Manning as well, but getting old for one.  The likely hood of him getting hurt is increasing.  We have seen that this off season.   Also I just like runnung backs over QB's.

Answer 10

If it is between AP and Manning. you should keep AP.  He will get you a lot more points, but try your best to get Chester Taylor to handcuff the backfield.  

Minnesota is going to have one of the best Defences in the league this year and with T.Jackson at QB they don't have much of a choice but to run the ball.

good luck

Answer 11

first it depends on who you have to replace them with AP seems like the player to keep but he has a few things going against him this year 1.he no longer is a surprise and teams will gear up to stop him 2.most young players struggle there 2nd year 3.he has no other play makers around him 4.and he has been injured in the past. what he does have is 1.all the tools to repeat last years performance 2.he is the only playmaker that the team has and they will feed him the ball 3.the schedule favors him with alot of week teams early. on P.M side you know that you have a qb thats going to get the job done and you wont have to worry about that postion but his schedule is tough early if you have a solid number 2 QB i would say keep AP but if your really weak at that postion you have to go with PM i dont know if you can trade either player but if you can trade one for something you need and keep the other i hope this helps you out goodluck on your year

Answer 12

ap for sure. peyton will most likely have an off season cuz of his elbow and you don't want to take the chances of that.

Answer 13

Keep AP cause he will get those rushing points
