If you know an Adrian Peterson owner, now's the time to hit him up for money/beer

Chester Taylor's hip injury has Peterson owners dancing in the streets, and rightfully so. The league's most talented rookie will carry the load for the Vikes until Taylor returns, whenever that is (could be later in the game for all we know). Peterson's a top-12 RB until Taylor comes back.

Even if Taylor comes back next week, I can't see how the Vikings would not give Peterson the bulk of the carries. He averaged over 5 yards a carry today and added a 60 yard touchdown reception...pretty solid stuff for a rookies first game.

Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008:
- Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
- Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
- Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
- Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
- Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
