How far does portis have to fall before you'll pick him? (1 Viewer)

Is Portis falling this drastically in most leagues? Yes there were plenty of guppies in this league, but I still think he should be gone by the end of the 2nd at the very latest, shouldn't he?

I think there's a tad bit of overreaction in your little league, huh? (course, how is that different from everywhere these days with Portis?)I could see mid-2nd, but that far? :shock:
 
Thats f'n stupid. If he falls to 2:10, Ill pick him, then get up and leave. No way would I play in a league where anyone lets him drop that far.

 
I drafted Portis tonight at 2.1 in a ten team league. I took Rudi at 1.10.

I could not let him go past me there. I think he'll be okay when it counts.

PS. Moss at 4.1!!! Got in just under the gun

 
I passed pn him at 2.10 and he went on the next pick. On the cheatsheet for my leeg, FBG has him rated 46th. I don't have him quite that low, but the fact is he is out with an injury and we have no idea how good he will be when he returns. I don't gamble a #1 or #2 on that kind of a question.

I wonder how this will affect his value in an auction. He obviously would have been high $$ before the injury, but I doubt he falls off too much.

Really. So there is no risk that the shoulder injury could be a nagging injury that continues to cause him problems throughout the season and there is no risk that one of the best short yardage backs whom the team just traded for vultures goal line carries. All these concerns can be put to rest if Gibbs names him week one starter. Nothing like optimism.
 
He went at 2.06 in my 12-team redraft last night.

I took Ronnie Brown at 1.11 :shock: and passed on Portis at 2.02 for CJ.

I was tempted to take him, but his injury and the fact I have him in another league led to my decision to take CJ instead. I just didn't want two of my teams hinging on an unknown injury. I would have taken him without question at 3.11 if he were still there.

 
I took him at 1.10 in a 12 team Tues right before the Ducket news. Its a risk but one I am willing to take. At 2.3 I had to be that guy and reach for Manning also... After the Ducket news, he still seems an early 2nd rounder to me. I will be very happy if I can grab him at 2.11 in my next draft...

Of course there is risk, that's why he falls from a top 5 pick to a late first rounder. If he's good to start week 1, then I don't think it's being overly optimistic to think he'll crack the top 12.I could say, “nothing like pessimism” to you and we could go back and forth all day. Sounds like a lot of fun. You perceive the risk to be great enough that you’ll take more backs ahead of him than I will. That’s all there is to it. He only scored 5 rushing TD’s in 2004 and cracked the top 10 in my league (11 using FBG’s scoring). If Saunders can work his magic, I see 5 TD’s as a floor even with TJ Bucket vultureing a few TD’s.Clinton Portis in my opinion is far more talented than Priest Holmes was when he entered Al Saunders offensive system in KC in 2001. That year, Holmes only scored 8 rushing TD’s while Tony Richardson vultered 7 TD’s away from him on only 66 carries. Holmes finished as the #2 back that year. Given CP’s injury, I have a tough time taking him in the top 5. However, if he’s good to go week one, I can’t see me passing on him in the late first round, Duckett or no Duckett.
 
I'm drafting 12th in a twelve team league. If he falls that far, I'll pick him up. No way can I let him get past me. I'm having a difficult enough time wondering who might be available at 12 & 13 and which way to go (RB/RB or RB/WR) Having Portis fall into my lap would be a gift. :excited:

IMO all you guys waiting and praying for a late R2 or (god forbid) R3 will be left hanging. And you'll be kicking yourself for not jumping on him early.

This is CLASSIC over reaction. Just like the guys passing on Moss in the 2nd after a couple less than impressive PRE-SEASON games...

Moss has been 3-4 r material last couple of years. I see no change in that.
 
I have the #9 pick the next two weekends in Vegas.

While I think there will be better options at 1-9, I would have to think about him, but more than likely would wait and take him at 2-4 if he was still there (and there was no further negative news)

BUT IMO there are two problems

1) the shoulder - if he is still in pain, this could be a condition he is playing with all year

2) he is clearly going to lose some (not all ) goal line TDs to Duckett - they didn't go get him to have him watch the game from the bench

It's #######ed football - RB's get hurt. Portis has a minor injury for a RB so I don't get the over-reaction. Even if he does miss a couple games - so what? It's weeks 14-16 that matter and you'd be a fool to let him get past you in the 2nd round.
 
I'm picking 11th in veas in a couple weeks, I'd love to see him drop to me there, and depending on how his recovery is going, will grab him with 2.02, if not 1.11. However, I think falling anywhere past the early 2nd is a gross overreaction to the Duckett trade. For once, I see CBS's prediction now as about right: 1600 combined yards with 6 TDs. Yes, he'll lose goalline carries, but I'll take those stats anywhere in the 2nd round.

 
I took him at 1.06 but this was a couple weeks before the first preseason game. (I don't know why the guy wanted to start the league THAT early). Kinda worried but not that much.

jurb what are you projecting for him, youve been high on portis for a long time and I havent heard you chime in

What round?
Click to expand...
what kind of #s are you expecting him to put up?

Around 1800 total yds and 13 TDs.

no way, not with Duckett there to take away the goal line pounding.

Dunn has managed to put up 1400/9 and 1640/4 the last 2 years with both Duckett and Vick (who took away 9 rushing TDs in the 2 years) to vulture. Portis is a better RB and Wash has a better scheme IMO. Dispite what many Portis bashers would love for us to believe there has still been no indication that he will miss ANY games. If there is, I'll adjust again.
