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 said he is not worried about the running game with team consultant Sherman Lewis now calling the plays. 'It ain't hard, I mean, you either run gut, counter, stretch, toss, dive, or draw,' Portis said. 'You can call it however you want to call it, but them are the only runs in football. For him to be an offensive coordinator for as long as he has, I'm sure he knows that as well. Maybe it's the formations. I don't know why he would say that, but I don't think it's too hard to call the running game.' |

| Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (leg) said he is dealing with several different problems with his right leg. 'It's just my right leg. I've got plantar faciitis, an ankle, the inside of my MCL, and a calf all on my right leg. So if I can get a new lower leg, I'll be fine,' Portis said. |
| Fantasy Impact: Portis has been banged up much of the year, but is producing decent numbers. He might be a good guy to trade before he misses any time. He isn't getting any younger and has a lot of carries under his belt for his career. |
