Portis Interview on Fox

[LongTimeSkinsFan]

While we're speculating... a few months back my son was putting together a fantasy football team and asked me about adding CP this year. I told him between the two Washington backs, I'd take Betts over Portis in the long run. He asked why and I told him if the tendonitis is a legitimate health concern, it will become a greater factor in his playing time as the season wears on, and you may see more and more of Betts as a result. It could be possible that his tendonitis is flaring up again and he's trying to play through it.

In terms of fantasy football, that's not very good advice. Fantasy football is all about yards and touchdowns. In a typically scored league, Portis probably has somewhere around 60 points on the season, while Betts has a little over 10 points.

And even if Betts begins to get the bulk of the carries, he still can't get in the endzone. He's not a good fantasy back unless both your starters aren't playing for some reason.
