Running Back Rank: #12
Overall: #15
It seems like Portis has been in the league forever, but he is just 28 years old (when the season starts). And last season was one of his best, notching 1,700 total yards and nine touchdowns. You would have to expect Ladell Betts to start getting more work at some point, though, especially with the trend of the league going with two backs. It could happen this season with Portis getting 300-plus carries in four of the last five seasons. Portis is a workhorse, playing in every game three of the last four years and getting 1,000 yards in all but a season during his career. Portis is a back that has surprising power, but the speed to break a big play to the outside. He also is a fine receiver, averaging 33 receptions per season for his career.

He is due for a falloff, but not likely this season. His numbers will probably suffer a little, but Portis is still worth grabbing in the late first or early second round of your draft. He'll get you 1,300-rushing yards and around eight to 10 scores. |

| Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) still is experiencing effects after suffering a concussion, stirring questions about whether he might sit out the remainder of the season. Head coach Jim Zorn has said the team would exercise caution with Portis, and having him return to the lineup this season simply might not be in his best interest. At the very least, Portis might need to sit out another few games while continuing to be monitored by team medical personnel. |
