Number 1: AP or Foster

[windchill]

Yeah, its the Vikings poor OL and lack and lack of WR's that worries me. However they are planning on a lot of 2 TE sets (which I HEAR AP likes) which can help the OL. Fosters night night against NO with 2TD's on just 47 yards (Tate even went for well over 100 yards) makes me wonder more. Will Tate take away too many carries?

I doubt Tate will take away many carries. Ward did great when he gave Foster a breather last year yet it really never cut into his production.

It's preseason. I really wouldn't be worried about something like that.

I'm having the same debate as I also have #1 pick this Sunday. Personally, I'm with the AP crowd given the consistency and stability, but absolutely see the points on Ray Rice. Two words for you: Vonta Leach (which obviously hurts Foster).

The way I see it:

1) Adrian Peterson
2) Arian Foster
3) Ray Rice
4) Jamaal Charles

It's tough though. I'm pretty down on CJ2K given the time he's already missed in preseason and what may potentially miss of the regular season. Supposedly he's meeting with the Titans' GM tomorrow morning so we'll see how that goes.

All I can say for sure is...definitely not taking Vick as #1!

I actually read that Foster had a better YPC without Vonta Leach in front of him. Foster is like AP, he's better in a single back set with two TE's. Find the hole and hit it

I personally have it

Foster
Rice
ADP
JCharles
CJ2k

That being said I like ADP as the "Safest" pick in the top 5, the reasons I have Foster and Rice ahead of ADP is because they (imo) have higher ceilings that what I believe ADP has. Either or works but if you wanna gamble go with Foster, if you wanna play it safe then roll with ADP.
