Well here we are week 15! and if your reading this congratulations on making it this far into the playoffs.
This week Im going to say something I never thought I'd say... BENCH ADRIAN PETERSON.. wow
its was as hard to type as it is to say. I have always been a stick with your studs type player, and that formula has always worked for me. However this week.. bein a sudden death playoff match, do you really want to risk it? I don't. Peterson is arguably the leagues best runner, but even the best runner has a hard time climbing the mountain he's up against. first off, he's banged up with a slight sprain in his ankle and knee bruise, secondly he's going up against a stout Bears defense with either a banged up senior or a third string passer.
This means the bears are going to stack the box to stop the only wounded weapon the Vikes have left.
Thirdly, as if the Vikes didnt have enough problems their home field advantage has been crushed as their stadium was unable to hold up the massive snow pile last week. and the final reason to bench Peterson.. weather.. the Viking Bears game will be played in near sub-zero temperatures and thick snowy conditions.
Add this to a meager performance last week against the Giants at Ford field, where he racked up a whopping 2.4 point performance and you have a molotov cocktail of disaster... I assure you there are better options for this week. If your are thin at the RB position, go scoop up either Tim Hightower or Mike Goodson ( who has a score in three straight games) and both backs are owned in less than 50% of leagues.
