That's a pretty weak RB corps, especially with the weakening of Chester because of AP. For the time being, Lewis and Maroney look to be pretty much full-time guys. I'm all about RB depth, especially in a keeper league, and AP is a pretty darned hot prospect, especially with the talent on that Viking line. But the problem is that he's going to be part of RBBC for at least this year, and likely years in the future. RBBC backs can be decent fantasy backs, but RBBC on top of injury proneness is a big red flag for me. I actually think that Lynch will be better fantasy-wise this year and a while into the future, as there's not going to be a lot of competition for carries up in Buffalo.
I'd be interested to see your receivers. I don't know a whole lot about college ball, but there's been nothing but raving about Calvin Johnson's skillset along with his size. He's also involved in the Mike Martz system, which always does well for receivers. Rookie receivers don't generally do very well fantasy-wise, but there are a lot of things pointing to Calvin Johnson being great for a lot of years.

I'd have to see the rest of your team to give you a firm answer on this topic (which, btw, probably belongs in the "Trade Talks, Waiver Wire & Keeper Leagues" forum, but no big deal)...nonetheless here's my take on it:
If you feel that your team is strong enough this year to contend for a title run, don't make a stab at AP. If you feel that your team is a year or two away from contending, spend the points on both he and Calvin (in either case, you should go for Calvin). The reasoning for this: unless the best-case scenario happens for your team, your RB corps is pretty anemic, and you're just going to confuse matters by picking up Chetty's new RBBC-mate. If you feel you have a legit title shot, spend the money on a legit #1 back. If you're in rebuild mode, pick up AP, and give him time to establish himself as the #1 back in Minny, and while he's doing so, try and pawn off Chetty on an unsuspecting owner for players to be named later.
