Portis will be lucky to score 5-6 TDs this year. Duckett could get 7-8 Gibbs love the bigs backs pounding the ball at the goal line.You should thank the over reactive FootballGuys Gods for that.

You are a bonafide nut if you think he is gonna be full strength anytime soon. He might need to use that shoulder now and then.You should thank the over reactive FootballGuys Gods for that.

Great minds.
Apparently yours is just a little bit faster (although I did type a tad more).
I consider that shoulder a shoe that may drop at any time.

And of course it could hold up all year. No one knows for sure. However, there is enough risk and randomness without intentionally adding more if a reasonable alternative presents.

Stats from 2004-2005 when Portis (since he was traded to D.C.):Rush TDs from 1-2 yards: Portis 7Rush TDs from 3-5 yards: Portis 2Rush TDs from 6-9 yards: Portis 2Other TDs (rec, long rush): Portis 935% of Portis TDs the past two seasons have come from the 1 or 2 yard line. 45% from the 5 or closer. That's a significant loss if Duckett indeed gets the call near the goal line.
Didnt Portis do most of his Scroing since being in Wash. from outside the 10-15 anyway?Washington's Offense is looking so poor I doubt they make it to the goaline very oftenPortis will be lucky to score 5-6 TDs this year.

Fantasy discussion aside, this is a very
Guess that shows what I know...
And IIRC, he didn't have a very high success rate on those short TD's, lending further credence to the thought that he won't get the chances this year.
I agree that they look poor but close inspection seems to indicate that they're running very limited schemes designed to test players in certain situations, e.g. intentionally not keeping in extra blockers to see how the linemen handle it, etc. They're also not motioning or audibling. They're fanatical about not giving away anything they're going to do in games - Saunders estimates that they're only running 2% of their offense. This is a veteran coaching staff if there ever was one. If they don't know how to get their guys prepared, nobody does.Washington's Offense is looking so poor I doubt they make it to the goaline very oftenPortis will be lucky to score 5-6 TDs this year.

Yeah 4 preseason games is a really good indicator.

because this is a quote from the Coach... not a report that the team has not officially confirmededit: also... this isn't fantasy information per se..... just general football info
Awesome post. Thanks.
Paired with SA I'd hazard a guess that you'll end up with the top pair of RB's in your league assuming at least a passable level of skill in your league from top to bottom. My projections for Portis:275/1250/925/200/1

If there's anything I learned about the Washington offense playing Tecmo Super Bowl, it's that Gibbs likes to motion a lot.
In PPR leagues, however, Tiki is miles ahead of Portis (who has hands like feet). Portis' yardage potential appears to be his only real FF asset now and there are a lot of leagues that are TD heavy or PPR. In those cases he is worth about RB 10. I think he is still overvalued by many people with both the threat of Duckett and a weaker shoulder.

However I don't think Portis's numbers are going to go down as much as people think. Mike Sellers is going to be the most affected by Duckett's signing. He quietly had 8 TD's last year but no one mentions him in any Portis thread I have read. 
Almost all short passes along the goal line. Portis will still get his share of goal line touches although I do see his carries per game dropping slightly. Sellers TD's from 1-2 yrds: 4Sellers TD's from 3-5 yrds: 2Sellers also had a 7 YRD TD and a 19 yrd TD.
Maybe if it's 3rd and goal at the 1. Maybe!Portis will be lucky to score 5-6 TDs this year.

Portis? Or Ditka? Those sound like Ditka numbers to me, but you're a little low on the yardage.' date='Aug 30 2006, 09:45 AM' post='5419691']450 carries3500 yards45 TDs
Seller has several carries in the preseason and has actually looked pretty good as a banger.
Heads up guys. Big news out of Washington as it looks like Clinton Portis will indeed start week 1 vs the Vikins.. If you've been listening to us, you'll have to cutt Betts and Duckett from your roster and pick up two other scrubs. Thanks to InsidetheStatguy Melvin Scupper for talking most guys off the ledge.Bottom line: Only Shaun Alexander has more 100 yd games in the last 3 seasons.

Except that that's not the way the shoulder is built. He injured it by extending it the completely opposite direction than this hit you're describing. Getting hit from the front is completely different, and doesn't stress the shoulder that way.
Nice work, I didn't know this.So the "pool of available GL TD's" is larger than I first thought.
