Washington RB Situation (1 Viewer)

[SieteCinco]

With Torrain leaving the game with a hamstring injury, who's the right pick up off the WW?

-Keilland Williams: Will most likely be the popular pick up of the week

or

-James Davis: Not many people will know about him, but seeing as he has talent and was just signed, could he FINALLY get his opportunity and be the right pick up?

*Washington does have their bye this week, so depending on how bad the injury Torrain could be good to go by week 10.

It should be time for Davis to shine.

Portis may be back Week 10 as well - Shanny said so four days ago (did anything change?)

Torain will be the primary back...slight hammy strain and has a bye week. No biggie

How do we know this is only a slight strain?

Although he's no longer in the picture here, what is it NFL teams are not liking about Jeremiah Johnson? I don't know a lOT about him, but really liked what I saw from him in college and during this years pre season games with the Texans.

Torain will be fine with the bye. If you want his backup, get Williams.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Portis will be back after the bye.

Portis will be back after the bye.

Does it even matter, though? Before he got hurt, Torain was still getting the better of the Washington backfield. Shanahan seemed to only be using Portis in passing situations since Torain came on in the Rams game. Torain is the play if healthy. If Portis is back, it hurts his value a little, but Torain is still the best play of the backfield. Now, if Torain is hurt but Portis is back, who knows. I don't think Shanahan goes back to Portis as a workhorse back. So someone out of Simpson, Williams, and Davis will be getting carries.

Got to agree. Portis has looked finished the past year.
