What to do with or without Portis?

[ice-pick]

My league starts 2 + 2 and a FLEX PPR. I am starting Slaton as one RB and S. Smith and Wayne for WR. Help me pick a RB and a FLEX

 

Portis, Betts, Pierre Thomas, J. Stewart, Gage What should I do?

Personally, Portis will have a great game playing against a week rush defense and having Peterson taking his number one slot. See portis to get at least 160 yards and 2 td's.

IF he plays, I agree - he tears the Seahawks up

 

The trick is having a backup plan ready

 

Zorn said that Portis will work out about 3 hours before the game (around the time of the 1 PM EST games). So I'd expect some info to come in around the start of those games - probably too late to substitute someone from an early game.

 

For example, I'm sitting Westbrook and Buckhalter, and flexing Royal right now until I know about Portis. If Portis goes, I'll plug him in. MY only question is simple - if Portis isn't active, is it worth picking up Betts and plugging him in the lineup instead of Royal?

 

(I like Royal vs KC based on what he did in week 1)

I tried the Betts thing last week and it bit me in the behind. It didn't help that I had to work that night and had no internet. I come home to find Portis and Betts played. ARGH!
