Portis Owners, what are you doing for week 1

[MrBurns 3]

I have to have my line-up in on thursday. I am going to him. So I chose to start Frank Gore in his place. It was between Gore and Lundy and I went with Gore. I am interested in what you are doing this week. Feel free to share.

Wait. News should come out of D.C. about today's practice.

[adanley 1]

Playing Westbrook instead.

[waliguy 0]

Don't know as of Tuesday afternoon.

 

Leaning towards a start on my team.

[NCNickNasty 0]

subbing in Thomas Jones for him.

[stosher1 0]

 

SJax & Dunn at RB, but I have to start a WR at flex instead of CP. Going with Driver, AJohnson & MJones or possibly Michael Clayton.

[DrGonzo 1]

Starting D foster instead

[The Fighting Monk 0]

It's Droughns for me. Had to draft an undisputed starter just in case Portis can't go week one. Sucks fantasy wise having him going on Monday night, But I am going to the game.

[J-Money 4]

i'm planning on him starting until i hear otherwise, if he can't go i'll throw in betts

[kcBlitzkrieg 29]

As of now Im benching him for FWP. Im also starting Westbrook & Foster at my flex. Just like the rest of you, Im going to keep waiting on any good news before I make my final decision Thursday evening. Im also debating whether to play F.Gore instead of Parker, that way I could wait until Sunday for the Portis decision. Anyone second that move over FWP?

[Romulan 0]

I might start both him and Betts (along with C Williams) im my start three rb league. unfortunately my other choices are Maurice Drew, and rookie Washington (Jets) so not much of a choice really

[DA BALLHOG 0]

If it looks like he won't play I'll plug in Lee Evans or Antonio Bryant, if he looks like he will play I'll leave him in my lineup and throw in Betts last minute if need be.

[OB1 33]

I'm paying a heavy price for risk/reward picks in week 1. At the 10 out of 10 spot I got James and Portis. My backups are Bell and Bell from Denver and then Addai. I figured I could wrangle up a backup out of those 3. Shanahan is being Shanahan, and Addai isn't ready for primetime, so right now I have no clue what i'm going to do. I'm guessing i'll wait and see what the reports on Portis' practices or lack there of are and then if it doesn't look good i'll go with Mike Bell and pray.

Starting D foster instead

I have a choice between Lundy, Rhodes and Betts and I'm still not sure who will be in my lineup. I change my mind every hour.

[Exit 160 0]

sniffing glue

[thannay 0]

Starting FWP and Bush with Derrick Mason in the flex. Don't exactly like it, but it's about my only option. I just hope he returns in week 2.

Redskins | Gibbs leaving decision to Portis on playing in Week 1

Tue, 5 Sep 2006 13:58:10 -0700

 

ESPNews reports Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs will let RB Clinton Portis (shoulder) decide whether or not he will play in Week 1. His status is considered to be "uncertain".

In my league our starters don't lock so it's flexible up until game time.... Ironically the two guys i'm debating between is Portis and Chester Taylor who happen to be playing each other... so i get to wait it out to the last seconds to see whats really going on who says the fantasy gods are always cruel

[DonS 3,292]

subbing in Thomas Jones for him.

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

Fresh off the wire... (Associated Press)

 

ASHBURN, Va. // Running back Clinton Portis and cornerback Shawn Springs did not suit up Tuesday as the Washington Redskins held their first practice of the week in preparation for Monday night's regular season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

 

Portis, who partially dislocated his shoulder in the preseason opener against Cincinnati, was the only player not on the field at the start of the workout but arrived to watch before it was over. Springs, recovering from abdomen surgery, and backup defensive end Renaldo Wynn (sprained ankle) also watched from the sidelines.

 

"He is still day to day," coach Joe Gibbs said. "He had a real good day in the weight room and rehab also. He is doing a real good job with it and will continue to expand what he is doing. It is still day to day, though. He feels like he is making good progress."

 

Portis set a franchise record with 1,516 yards last season. If he can't play, Ladell Betts will get the start.

I'm starting Kevin Jones, even if Gibbs says Portis will play. I want to see him get thru a game first. I think KJ is in for a decent year, will get lots of touches no need for me to risk anything week #1.

 

If Portis goes off and I lose....I will be the happiest loser in fantasy football history.

 

Ronnie Brown is my #1.

Brown is also my number one . I also like Jones alot this year. Even though I got burned last year taking him in the 2nd round.
