Why is Peterson so undervalued


He's still in the top 5. It's not like ppl have Peterson out of the RB10 discussion. I'm not sure why you say SO undervalued. The guy is a beast no doubt

Better offense and more explosive at this point of their careers. Plus if the Vikings sick there's always the threat of Peterson being shut down during the fantasy playoffs.

Strength of schedule

Peterson = 29th hardest
McCoy = 4th easiest

Can't figure that out either. PPR or non-PPR, doesn't matter to me; AP is still my #1. Whether people want to admit it or not, Sproles will have an impact on McCoy's numbers from last season. Especially in PPR format. Will it be huge, doubt it. But it has a chance to be enough that I would take not only AP, but Charles as well, ahead of McCoy this season.

This means nothing. Every year there are wildcard teams that show up defensively. I don't keep up with strength of schedule until the year is already underway for a bit

Not to mention 2 games against the bears...if you could just play the guy facing their run defense every week, you'd be unstoppable

I dk but I will happily take Peterson if he falls to wherever I am in the draft (including #1)

You do realize that the way you phrased this says that peterson has the easier schedule, right?

they're expecting Norv to get Peterson involved in the passing game. they're saying 50-70 catches.

I'm considering McCoy, but they've added sproles, Peterson has a history of consistency when he's not banged up, and Norv Turner (RB gold producing OC) is in Minnesota.

If Chip Kelly takes the ball out of shadys hands to put it in Sproles, he's a fricking idiot

I just don't know if I buy that. In a PPR I'd rather guys we know our going to get those looks in Charles, McCoy, and Forte.

Peterson already catches 30-40 balls a year. He's underrated as a pass catcher

Turner has that vertical passing attack. Keeps the LBs and DBs honest and opens up those little dump offs to RBs. I think that's going to benefit Peterson a lot.
