Tomlinson will visit Vikings Thursday | ProFootballTalk.com

Could be a good fit.

As a keeper league owner of Peterson, I don't like it. About Tomlinson's only value now is in short downs/distances. That could take away some TD opportunities for AP...

Could create some tension within the team with egos.

**Clones21** · 03-09-2010, 04:36 PM

Lets get em!

Better than playing the back-up hawkeye.

I doubt it. LT would have to know coming in that he's the backup.

Maybe he can teach AP how to hang onto the ball.

YES!

Did Marlin Jackson leave town without a contract then? At least I thought that is who they were targeting?

**Dryburn** · 03-09-2010, 06:13 PM

I would rather see him than Westbrook. LT is not quite the pass receiver that Taylor was, but he is a pretty good runner. Taylor was so good on 3rd down though. Noticed LT is pretty good in passing.....lol......8 for 12 in his career, with 7 of those going for touchdowns. Not bad.

I suspect they are bringing him in to play quarterback if Favre finally retires.

This would make more sense. He fits the mold of Chester Taylor as the back-up, and already knows the offense. I think Westbrook has some gas left in the tank, and the Vikes could be really dangerous with the addition of BW. I'm going to miss him as an Eagle fan. Though, I've missed him during a lot of games during his career...

sign him up

**helechopper** · 03-09-2010, 06:54 PM

I like this because Tomlinson can replace Taylor as the #2 in our one-two back punch that's much needed in the league these days.

Yeah, because it's all about your fantasy league results
