Portis today (1 Viewer)

Anyone else more than a bit uneasy with Portis today; coming off an injury and against the Dallas D? Honestly my only other option is Mike Bell so I'm going with Portis but I've got this pit in my stomach...

 
I am feelin pretty good about now.

1. Gibbs is a 2nd half coach off a bye week

2. The entire defensive starting 11 will be playing for the 1st time this year.

3. No Santana Moss likely means more touches for CP

4. Big Players Play Big in Big Games. And CP is Big!

:football:

 
I think Dallas shuts him down, esp. with no Moss to worry about. Washington may get 100 yards rushing, but it will come with 60 for portis and 40 for betts.

Just my guess. No Moss make Wash. very one dimensional as there is no other legitimate proven deep threat.

This guys got it right. Dallas will stack the line and make Brunnell beat them. I'm play Ch Taylor over Portis in one league, and FWP over him in another.

Part of me thinks this is why Washington has a chance to put up some numbers today. Brunell has been locked in on Moss. If Moss isn't open, he dumps it to a RB. Now, with Moss out, Brunell will have to look to ARE or Lloyd. Now the only question is whether he'll pull the trigger.
 
Pairing Portis with Tiki over either of the Bells.
oh cmon now, what Tomlinson was taken?We talking dynasty here?Did you all trade up to get two gems?ahhh don't answer, didn't think it'd be a hijack, sorry. sorryWe could use the Portis updates
 
I'm jealous of you Rudi+Portis
Don't be. Glad to have them and all, but they've hurt me about as much as helped me ie given their expectations and "lesser" players I could have started that wouldn't have lost a game for me as these 2 have at times.I'm leaning to Portis instead of Rudi due to vs Ravens and how Lewis friggin blows Rudi off a lot. ie Rudi will have a big day.

Unfortunately this is very likely correct.

Go with Portis he missed the first game and should be pumped to play --- with smoss out and brunnell struggling he should get lots of looks

 
I landed Portis in the 2nd rd this year in two drafts. Don't forget he was injured and status was unclear before week 1.

LT, Ch. Taylor and Portis LEAGUE 1 (still have lost 3 games somehow)

Portis, FWP, K. Jones LEAGUE 2

 
KJ, Portis, and JLew

KJ for sure.

Normally wouldn't even think about it between Portis and JLew but with Portis limping and JLew appearing to be set for a lot of carries again I am agonizing over the 2nd RB. Sometimes it is just better to not even have a choice instead of getting an ulcer trying to decide. I'll probably pull the wrong trigger 5 minutes before game time! :lmao:

 
I don't like ankle injuries to begin with & then combine that with a guy in Betts, that Gibbs / Saunders seem to have no problem in going to along with the Dallas Run D & I'm going with other options.

As a side observation, I am playing Lloyd as a sneak play this weekend with Mini Moss out & my expectations of a lackluster Skins run game.

We'll see how that works out. Confidence is not terribly high in Brunnell though.
