If AP does play this year, it'll be more of a statement than a necessity. He will only get three games.

That is their problem. In a keeper league he should have been stashed at this point anyway.

Pissed because you're still playing the WW? frick em. I don't understand why a playoff team would get mad at not getting the first shot at a WW player when they haven't been getting it all year. Seems trivial. If you at the top of the leaderboard, don't expect to get the hot WW commodity.

I would like to see him play 1 week first, me personally.


That's the thing, if he is reinstated next week he either:

1- won't play next week
or
2- (likely) not get enough touches for you to make that assessment for the following week.

This should have happened a couple of weeks, I think now it is too late.

Oh trust me I let them know that I didn't give a shite, and not politely.

I've finished 2nd and 1st the last two years in this league and now that I'm tanking (not really just got royally fricked every single week) they have been constantly running their mouths. Picking him up was a nice little to end the season.

I'm more interested in preventing other people in the playoffs from getting him, just in case, AP goes off if he were to play.

Rhetorical. Of course not.

Agreed. The arbitrator isn't supposed to rule until mid next week. If he rules Wed/Thurs, the Vikings could not play him week 15, or like you mentioned, not give him enough touches.

Is AP even expected to be back with Minnesota next year given his salary cap figure? If not, why would the organization take any kind of PR hit by playing AP since they have virtually no shot to make the playoffs?

Still not a horrible pick up to keep him away from other teams in your league if you have the roster spot to do so.
