chinatown dragons Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Okay...in a ten team league...2 keepers.....granted, LJ and Portis haven't lit it up.......But, have to be honest, Gore's injury is worrisome......ankle sprains can linger.......can see Coffee putting up good numbers 2 weeks in a row...(Rams and Falcons...,) hit the bye.... If Gore comes back after the bye and struggles a bit, Coffee could see the field quite a bit..... Is Portis and LJ 'done'....??? or do they have potential? I think Portis does, as he does play through pain and injuries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 LJ is done...dead, buried, not interested in professional football, on a bad team, only valuable in fantasy leagues that award points for the forthcoming brushes with the law that are inevitable. Portis is not done and I think after this week we'll see his value take a rebound of sorts...that said, Gore was playing at a very high level before his injury, and while there has been a decent amount of hype about Coffee, I don't think he's a special RB like Gore can be when healthy...come second half of the season week 9 or so, Gore's going to be the guy you still want to be trotting out there. So in my opinion I'd stand pat Best of Luck, WashD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusions of grandeur Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 One rumor circulating out there is that Gore could be out as much as 7 weeks Well, many reports circulating out there say he's expected to be back week 7 (after their bye). Can't rely on rumors to have any truth (in fact, they could have easily misread the report, and switched week 7 for 7 weeks). Certainly keep an eye on the situation, but hold on to your stud. It seems Portis could be 1 hard hit away from being in the same situation (or an even worse one, considering he's already beat up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokers Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Keep Gore, both LJ and Portis are on bad teams going no where. Gore will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WashingtonD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The only way Portis loses to Jamal in a foot race is if there is an all you can eat pancake buffet at the finish line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
