This could come back to bite us pretty seriously if Portis misses a few weeks here and there due to his knee flaring up. While Betts and Cartwright are both very good RBs, the combination of minor injuries plus fatigue could put us in situations where we line up a less than ideal player in the backfield in a crucial situation.

Better Blaylock to IR than Portis or Betts, but our depth is not that good at RB relative to the rest of the league.

Ideally this won't be an issue, but you never know.
