rabaak 351 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I think the Lions will be throwing the ball with all the Vikings DB's out. I expect a shootout and I'm starting Swift. I can't imagine Mike Zimmer allowing AP to go off against his former team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is Stafford not somewhat methodical (and without his big play receiver)... and doesn't Minny like to grind it out with Cook and hope Cousins is efficient? I'm not convinced there will be a lot of scoring here. That said, I like Hockenson a lot this week, Cook seems almost too obvious a DFS play that I'm fading a bit. Marvin is good value for theoreitcal targets but I'm keeping expectations tempered. Jefferson feels classic stud-or-dud. He is one of the hardest players to predict.

mike11 22 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 He likely won't learn, here's the season stats for the three on the ground: Swift: 54 Att, 250 Yards, 4 TDs (4.6 YPC) Peterson: 93 Att, 350 Yards, 2 TDs (3.8 YPC) -- Also here's his YPC for his last SIX games: 3.63, 1.4, 2.64, 2.67, 3.27 (WOW it's actually that bad...) Johnson: 29 Att, 109 Yards, 1 TD (3.8 YPC) I get bring Swift along a little more slowly at the start but there's no excuse for it now. Give him 15-20 touches a game, this is unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Swift is not getting the reins this year without an injury to AP. It is what it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From a dynasty perspective I'm excited though. I do think AP has probably really helped Swift this year from a "how to be a pro perspective" and I also think he's probably helped him to learn some rb nuances; who better to teach you in between the tackles running than AP. So while from a yearly perspective it seems likely he's doesn't break into the high end RB 2 status (He is ironically RB18 on the year in ,5 PPR) I think long term trajectory I'm thrilled with him.

I agree with you regarding the long term outlook. I'm in a keeper league and I traded for him with the hope he would take off in the later half of the season (2019 Miles Sanders) and with next year in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's looked amazing. A Sanders-type emergence would be ideal but again that's going to take an AP injury. Even still, he's a locked and loaded mid-range RB2 most weeks. That's pretty good given the desolate RB landscape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGFATPANDA 426 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have no problem w AP being there. The problem is kerryon usage... like wasted touches hopefully Fatboy gets fired... like this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rabaak 351 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I was listening to the game on the radio (60 degree temps in MN in Nov, you need to be outside). But I seem to remember one play where Swift caught a 5 yard pass and was knocked out of bounds at the Vikings one yard line and almost scored. AP came in for the next play and was stuffed for -4 yards and the Lions had to kick a field goal. If he would have added that touchdown, he would have had a very nice day. Rush: 13/64; Rec: 3/33.

owenmills 5,326 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If AP were to miss games down the stretch this guy could really be huge for teams. Not rooting for a serious injury or anything but I hope the old man pulls a hammy or something come week 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Gonzo 147 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I hope they just fire the coach and phase AP out of the offense since this team is going nowhere anyways. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be ideal but I've lost hope in them phasing out AP already halfway through the year and past their bye. Their next 3-4 games are winnable too, I think Patricia will hang on and won't get fired until end of season or offseason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BearDownBears 38 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Showed that he's a potential league winner today which of course means Patricia is giving him 9 touches next week while AP gets 13 carries for 31 yards and a TD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
