Both released today, who would you rather take a gamble on?

I think I'd go Charles

I could make an argument for both, but if needing a starting RB to get 18-20 touches a game, AP is the answer.

If you have a starting RB and you need 8-10 touches a game with home run potential, you go Charles.

He's missed a majority of the season 3 out of the last 4 years. If you are looking for 18-20 carries out of a running back, I don't think AP is your guy.

And so we are clear, I don't think Charles is that guy either. But I think he can fit in a role better than AP

If you only pay Charles $500k-$1 million take him. Guy can't stay healthy. I wouldn't pay him a lot.

Peterson is also one year removed from leading the league in rushing.

Also, where are you getting that Peterson missed most of 3/4 years? He played 14 games in 2013 and 16 games in 2015.

Rotoworld is so fast, but they make so many errors and typos it is stupid.

Maybe they're talking about that season he missed for beating his kid?

I think Peterson will be more useful as he moves into the twilight of his career. If Charles loses a step or two he's probably nothing special even while healthy.

Not sure charles' knees can hold up to his jump cuts. Both of his ACL tears were non contact I believe. Gimme Peterson.

All has to do with the $$$ involved.

If they have the same asking price, Peterson.

If Charles is half of Peterson, and under 5M, Charles.
