Either way...in your situation, I would not hesitate to take AP for them both. Especially if you are in a keeper league and will have an option to keep him for next year.
Ponder maybe the best thing that happen to AP.
You still have matthews who puts up better numbers than mendenhal in my opinion and green who is only slightly worst than mendenhal.
Your giving up a bench receiver for a #1 starting running back in a non PPR league.... I don't think I would pass up this deal.
Is your league a keeper league?

I would rather keep mendenhall and trade greene/johnson for forte rather than AP if that trade is still available.
if your going to deal johnson/RB... you might as well get a stud in return.
Forte would be a stud if Barber wasn't stealing his goal line touchdowns and if this was at minimum a half point ppr league...
Mendenhall and Greene is about a wash to me so far this year... and the numbers back it up. I still give Mendenhall an strong edge just because he is more of the feature back.
Adrian Peterson.. need I say more. Everyone is loading the box and he is still competing for the rushing title. The big question mark is how Ponder is going to affect the Vikings passing offense which was horrible to begin with.
I believe Ponder with his mobility will start to play better and look better than McNabb and Peterson's game will actually improve.
You never know though.
Good luck in whatever you choose.

Forte has 10 less rushing yards than Peterson YTD (527 to 537) and in standard scoring leagues actually leads Peterson by 5 points (102-97). I have both of them on one of my teams and either is a GREAT option at RB (in my opinion a wash) but I like Mendenhall more than Greene ROS which is why I would prefer the other trade. Either way this guys team looks solid and going to compete for a possible fantasy title.

Ok sorry a new trade was thrown in the mix, had to start a new thread..,
Would u trade Steve Johnson and Rashard Mendinhall for AP???
Tough tough one....I'd say no because Mendinhall is currently underproducing and he should pick it up. AP had one awesome week but will continue to get the box stacked against him. Stevie also runs that passing offense in Buffalo.
Again, tough, but I'd likely keep Mendinhall + Stevie. Also to make this trade or not highly depends who your other WRS are

I think Mend has as much value as AP at this point with Minny going with Ponder everyone will be keying AP and its about time for that mid season hammy injury. Thats just me tho.
