Question

Who would be a better fantasy choice: Brian Westbrook or Adrian Peterson?

Answer 1

Adrian Peterson is wayy to injury prone..i would take westbrook. solid yardage, touchdowns.they will be relying on him a lot since mcnabb is having arm problems.

Answer 2

AP. Westbrook is often hurt, and I've never been all that impressed watching him.

Answer 3

I'm a huge Adrian Peterson fan, but I believe Westbrook is best

Westbrook is an All-purpose back

Answer 4

Brian Westbrook. Adrian Peterson's team doesn't have many offensive weapons outside of himself and Bernard Berrian and Chester Taylor and Taylor is another runningback. If Tarvaris Jackson can play good then things will open up for Adrian but if not he will see 8-9 in the box waiting for him because they know Jackson cant make too many plays in the passing game. Not unless JD Booty can come on for them I dont see Peterson getting looks like last year.

Brian Westbrook for the most part stays healthy. He is a double threat in the passing game and rushing. he will see the endzone and now the Eagles have some more receiver threats to use so that only opens things up for him. He has a somewhat solid schedule for the 2008 season so.

Answer 5

Peterson is younger and will get you the rush yards.

Westbrook will get you a lot of receiving yards with his rush yards.

Both are injury prone, but Peterson hasn't been beat on by defenses as long as Westbrook has, so he will heal faster.

If I had Westbrook on my fantasy team, and he had a break away TD, but stopped and laid down on the 1 yard line like he did to Dallas last year, I wouldn't ever want him again.

lol.

Go with Peterson.

Answer 6

Depends on if its a points per reception league or not. If it is i would go with westbrook. if its not i would go with peterson. Westbrook catches a lot of balls which drives his value up in ppr leagues.

Answer 7

Adrian Peterson

Answer 8

I would take Westbrook because he catches a lot of passes and will get more total yards. I think Peterson will have a "Sophomore Slump" or get injured.

Answer 9

Peterson

Answer 10

S. Jackson.  unless you're picking 3rd or lower and Jackson is gone.  Then trade down.  if can't then Westbrook if not a keeper league.  Minn. still likes to platoon and Peterson still has some learning to do - he goes for 200 yards one week and then 6 yards the next.

Answer 11

I'm a huge Westbrook fan, but Adrian Peterson is better
