Portis week 5

Postby 011472 » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:01 pm

So this week Mr. Disappointing goes against the worst run defense in football. He's already managed to not score on some pretty bad teams, but could this be the week he finds the end zone? I'm tempted to start him over Moreno. It can't get any better than this matchup.

I swore I wouldn't, but I am this week after I traded away Purple Jesus. He did get 25 carries last week, and he isn't on the injury report so . . . .

would def start him over knowshon. NE is the 7th ranked team vs fantasy RBs.

When you play against STL, DET and TB, fail to score a TD and average below 4 yards per carry, you are a risk to start any week. Coupled with the fact that CAR is well rested I'd probably look elsewhere. Odds are you can't though.

Who did you trade AP for I'm real curious. Did you foresee an injury?

I have options. I'll start Mendenhall, but am torn between Moreno and Portis for my other RB.

Well...one positive note is that he's nowhere to be seen on the injury report for this week which means he's probably healthier than he's been all season so far. If there's a final week I would play him before sitting him out if he continues to not produce, this is the one.
