Using the best RB in the game more often usually helps your offense score points. I feel bad for AD playing with such shitty QB play for nearly his entire career.

It's kind of hard to run the ball when you're down 30

They are down 30 because they started off pass heavy...

Ap was getting shut down which is why they kept passing it

Maybe so. It seems though that they run three straight unsuccessful passes and done too many times. Teams stack the box against the Vikings because they don't have a legitimate QB and it makes it even harder for Peterson. If the Vikings were able to spread the field to keep defenses honest, it would make Peterson that much better. It's just annoying

He gets shut down because he is all the Vikings have on offense. That's the problem. That's what defenses focus on

I agree I just thought your previous response was implying that they should've run the ball more at the beginning of the game

They have some decent receivers too, but it doesn't matter because they don't have a QB to get them the ball.

I just think he needs to run the ball more, period. He has 10 carries today and 62 yards and the Vikings are getting blown out

Carolina has the third ranked defense in the nfl. Why would you think ap would do so well?

Yea and this game wasnt exactly a blowout. And the Giants are 1 of the worst teams in stopping the run. AP should have gotten 20 carries against them. Not cool Leslie Frazier, not cool.

My matchup was well in hand, but still i dont like seeing the #1 pick in the draft get 13 carries or whatever it was. And he was wide open on a lot of pass plays, but Freeman never looked his way. I mean wide open multiple times where he could of gotten at least 20 yards.

His 13 carries helped me win! I am the worst 6-1 team in the history of fantasy football!
