Here's a letter i sent to CBS's own Dave Richard. Does anyone else notice the constant negativity when you read they analysis on portis every week? maybe it was all the betts koolaid they drank in the off season. :dunno:Who led the NFL in rushing yards in Week 10? Clinton Portis, who didn't average four yards per carry but still was able to rack up 137 rush yards and 20 receiving yards
Sorry, Dave but your math skills could use a bit of work. 137 yard on 30 carries works out to be 4.57 yards per carry. Also, what’s up the sportsline hate for Portis? Every week it seems the fantasy analysis takes shots at Portis for whatever reason. Here are some examples:
Clinton Portis (vs. PHI): Portis has a good history against the Eagles with six touchdowns in his past five games. But he only has one 100-yard game against Philadelphia over that span and only ran for 69 yards in their Week 2 matchup. After running for 196 yards on 36 carries last week against the Jets, I'm concerned about a letdown for Portis.
So after rushing for almost 200 yards the previous week and having a good history vs. the eagles AT HOME we should sit Portis?
Redskins RB Clinton Portis had 30 carries for 137 yards and four catches for 20 yards vs. Philadelphia in Week 10. Those are pretty good statistics, but not one of Portis' touches went for more than 13 yards, so he was limited in his production outside of the amount of touches he had.
Portis will have another tough matchup in Week 11 when he plays at Dallas. He had 84 rush yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys in one game last year but isn't anything better than a No. 2 Fantasy RB for the coming week's action.
So 157 all purpose yards and 20+ fantasy points are LIMITED outside of the touches he had? BTW, what does that even mean? Aren’t a lot of touches supposed to be a good thing? Also, Portis is currently the #10 ranked RB in our FF league but every week you guys keep telling us that he’s no better than a #2 RB?
I’m just a little confused by the “haterade” you guys must be drinking. Portis is turning out to one of the best value picks of everyone’s drafts and yet every week we should sit him or expect no better than #2 RB stats based on the advice of CBS “gurus”. Please, stop the hate…congratulate.
