redknightsgoingdown Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 is it time to sell high on Portis? I am of the mindset that generally everything that goes up will go down in FF and Portis is #1. He has logged 163 carries and 10 catches. He is on pace for 373 carries and 23 catches... almost 400 touches. He is already hurting and hopefully he makes it to the bye week in 1 piece. Thoughts? What's crazy is that in the league I have him no one is biting on any of the trade offers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's true that players don't tend to stay hot throughout the entire FF season, there's not much reason to believe Portis will suddenly stop being productive. Consider the state of NFL RBs right now. SJax, LT, Addai, Westbrook are struggling with injuries. If the RB isn't banged up and NOT in an RBBC... are they as productive as Portis? AD was knicked up but is getting back to form. Lynch has been scoring but his yardage has been lacking. Gore has been nice but isn't without an injury risk and prone to a few real duds. Turner has been up and down. Forte has seen his yardage trail off. So Portis is banged up. There aren't many RBs who aren't right now. There's really no reason for him to participate heavily in practice anyways. The bye week is coming soon (thank God). I'd rather keep him and hang on to his backup because there aren't many RBs in a better situation than Portis. And none have been more productive.

Portis is a gamer and unless he sustains a major injury which is a concern to have about every single player and moreso for those getting an increased amount of touches, he's a STUD. Here's a little updated news on Portis... http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/ Portis Practices, Is Ready to Go Jason Reid has the injury report: Running back Clinton Portis, who leads the NFL in rushing, participated fully in practice yesterday, Coach Jim Zorn said. "He's getting better and better," Zorn said. "He did everything. He didn't do it at full speed, but he's been getting all the work done. The thing about Clinton, he's worked his body hard. "It feels better, feels better, feels better, and now he's about to make it feel bad again. That's just the way it's going to be all season long. These running backs, they really sacrifice. They take the most pounding of anybody in the game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
