He went at 1.08 in my 12 team redraft today, but it was by the new guy in the league who was magazine drafting. The same guy made some other questionable choices (Hines Ward in the 3rd and Roethlisberger in the 6th... Pgh Homer).

Took him at 1.08 in my 10-teamer Wedneday night.
My buddy picking behind me told me he would have taken him at 1.10 if he was there

He went 2.2 a couple of hours ago in a 10 man league. The concensus at the table (with the exception of the 2.1 guy) was that he wouldn't have made it past anyone's second round pick. I was picking 4th and would have taken him in the second to complement Shaun Alexander. Settled for Holt.

The other big question to when Portis is getting drafted is how soon Duckett gets picked up as well? I'm drafing 1.08 in my re-draft league tomorrow and if I have to make the decision to pickup Portis, I most likely won't wait too long for Duckett....
Our league also limits rosters to 4 RBs and we typically start 3 so it pretty much dictates that my other RB's better be solid starters....

Any other Saturday drafters have some input on this?

I draft tomorrow, but I talked to the guy at 1.08 today and he said he will draft him if he's still there.

Took him at #14 (2.02) in a 12 team draft. Was pretty suprised he dropped to me there.
1.12 in a NEW 12 team Dynasty that just completed? My picks were 2.3, 2.5, 2.12 and 3.1. I thought he was falling to me for a minute. I can see the re-drafts (maybe), but NOT a Dynasty. Then again, I got Edge at 2.5 (not that I wanted him, but you CAN'T pass him up can you?, so pre-season is scaring someone).

2.06 in my 12-team redraft last night.
JJones went just before Portis and Bush was the next RB selected.
Disclaimer: This league had a VERY strange draft....I've been in it for 10 years and last night was just odd with players being taken way too early or being left out there way too long. I did my best to fix it, but I only had one pick per round. In short, I think 2.06 is too late for him. I passed at 2.02 because I have Portis in another league and didn't want two teams hinging on his shoulder.

Drafting 1.07 and 2.06 in my 12-teamer on Monday and I would be sooooooo happy to find him there at 2.06!

Because Betts is also fighting injury, because Portis could have a recurrence of the injury, because they want to spare Portis short yardage hits, especially early in the season.

so they give up a first day pick for that?? no way . . . and Betts got more carries than any other Redskins RB tonight . . .

Washington expects to be drafting very low this year, so it's barely a first-day pick. More importantly, Snyder's not exactly patient. He doesn't want this injury to be a season killer for the Redskins. At the very least, Duckett is insurance. You asked for reasons, I gave you some decent answers.

I took him 24th overall in a keep 1 salary league witha cap of $100. His salary is $36. Had to take him at that point. $36 was too high for most.In preparation for my draft on Sunday, I\'d like to get some data on where Portis is going at this moment.

You're actually NOT hearing me. I expect Duckett to be the short yardage back including goal-line. I said at the very LEAST, he's insurance given the pounding running backs take and the possibility for recurrence. I do expect Portis will see a lighter workload, especially in the first half of the season. Your post suggests Portis will miss at least Week 1 in its entirety, and that is where I disagree. You could be right about him missing Week 1, but there is no information out there to suggest it. We'll know on September 11. I don't consider a late third round pick to be a high price considering they acquired a proven commodity. It's not a flier like the Broncos with Clarett. Talk about a third round pick being wasted... I wish the Steelers had offered the Falcons a 3rd instead of a 4th. Then they would have Duckett for short yardage instead of a series of question marks. Pittsburgh may regret NOT trading away their 3rd round pick. We shall see.I hear you, and if you're correct, that's some expensive insurance . . .Washington expects to be drafting very low this year, so it's barely a first-day pick.

That's what everyone is thinking, but they are looking pretty bad in preseason. I don't put any weight in W's & L's in the preseason, but the Redskins are not just losing, they are looking bad doing it.Washington expects to be drafting very low this year, so it's barely a first-day pick.

Given their brutal division, it wouldn't surprise me if they missed the playoffs even if they end up as one of the ten best teams in the league. I'm just projecting THEIR mindset concerning the pick.That's what everyone is thinking, but they are looking pretty bad in preseason.

12 teams. Winner gets $1000 #2 gets $500 #3 Gets $150
Start QB RB RB WR WR TE K
Standard Scoring No PPR
I'm thinkingI need a QB And WR
This was the team I drafted tonight. We get 6 add/dropps per year so I will be dropping Wiggins after week 3 for Dayne if the Denver RB situation is still up in the air. I took Gates so hi because all other RB/WR that I wanted were gone. I knew I would get Wayne in the 4th so I figured Gates was the pick. The Dillion owner wanted to kill me when I picked Maroney. He called me for a trade 5 minutes after the draft.
