Release Peterson?

[Papa Deuce]

I had kept him. Obviously he is doing me no good, and nobody in my league wants to trade for him as a possible keeper for 2015. Our rules allow us to draft / pick up suspended players.

We play:

1 QB
2 RB........ but we draft 6 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1K
1 D/ST

I have Murray and Bradshaw, but beyond that, nobody is really doing great for me at RB - to the point that bye weeks will suck. I could drop Peterson and pick up someone useful. However, the person I would least want to see get him, and keep him for 2015, has waiver priority. My RB bench sucks, but at least they play, unlike Peterson. I have not really decided who I would pick up if I let him go. I do know that I won't be keeping him for 2015 even if he can play.

Keep or release?

BTW, the reason I don't want this guy to get him is that almost every season, he and I are battling for 1st place. He is not in the mix this season due to a lot of injuries and McCoy's lack of performance..... but he did draft a great team. But even if I don't keep Peterson, there is a decent chance that guy could get him in the draft next season based on projected draft positions.

Why wouldn't you keep him in 2015 if he's playing for someone?

I do know that I won't be keeping him for 2015 even if he can play.

Why not?

[Papa Deuce]

Because I can keep 4 people,

Julio
Calvin
Murray
Gordon

he'll be worth far more in the offseason, so no, I would not drop him now.

Not necessarily. We can't trade what we won't keep. So with my 4 definite keepers ( barring catastrophe ) I can't trade him in the off season.
