Dillon or Portis

[CINuts]

I've got a tough game this week and need some advice. Is Portis finally going to be prime time this week? He's obviously got the goods and if he gets a good feed of carries and doesn't fumble early to get yanked he should do well this weekend. Dillon is normally an everyday starter for me but against the Bucs I just don't see his numbers improving. FYI my other Back is Shaun Alexander and despite him killing me so far I figure he's a must start against the vikings. Any one with real insight into the Denver RB situation your advice would be greatly appreciated. -Thanx!

i would go with portis considering that gary still is a little hobbled, even if he does play, i dont think he will be effective. i also think that TB will stuff dillon and i really dont like his chances of producing points this week.

Go with Portis as Gary is hurting. As for Alexander, that is a very intriguing situation. The Vikes held ATrain and Travis Henry to under 100 yards but turned Lamar Smith loose for 100+ yards. Go figure.

Baltimore's D ain't what it was but in two games they haven't given up a 100 yd.rushing game to anyone(L.Smith-84,M.Pittman-58)Clint Portis,meet Ray Lewis.Lewis and his LB crew will strike fear in the heart of the rook.Alexander breaks out this week.Tampa Bay's D is good but McCallister ran for 100+ on'em.Dillon is certainly as good a back as Deuce,& he's all they have,Dillon(rungame) will have to be established to take some heat off of Akili Smith.He's the best offensive weapon for the Bengals,he will get the ball often.
