Portis, Redskins dooming fantasy owners

Posted by GameSetMatch on 1st October 2009

If you have Clinton Portis on your fantasy football team, you’re probably feeling a little paranoid right now.
Portis, the Redskins, their coach and even league schedule makers all seem to be conspiring against you.


So far Portis has shuffled for a mere 61 yards a game with no TDs. His line isn’t blocking for him. His coach isn’t calling plays for him. And the schedule keeps serving up defensive patsies that make it hard to put him on your fantasy bench.
Even though he’s averaged 1,370 yards and 10 TDs the past two years, he’s been stumped against the lowly Rams and Lions the past two weeks. He’s been stuffed on fourth-and-goal in both games, and last week coach Jim Zorn for some reason gave him just four carries in the first half.
Normally, you’d bench a guy after three weeks of horrid play. Yet, thanks to the schedule, you’re stuck. It’s tough to sit him against the next three currently winless opponents: Tampa Bay (31st against the run), Carolina (29th) or Kansas City (19th).

Portis has more words for Riggins, whose Redskins record he’s chasing

Posted by GameSetMatch on 3rd September 2009

On his 28th birthday, Clinton Portis was trying to be low-key. No big party this year. “I’m going to mind my business,” he said Tuesday as he walked off the Washington Redskins’ practice field. But at the mention of the name “Riggo,” Portis wasn’t about to bite his tongue.



Portis kept up his running feud with Hall of Fame running back John Riggins on Tuesday. Portis, who has a chance to overtake Riggins this year as the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, clearly is growing tired of being criticized by the legend he’s pursuing.

“I think he was a great running back, but, you know, think of who else was around him,” Portis said. “That was really not hard to be a great running back when you’ve got that talent all around you. I think they just had great teams, you know. I think everybody who played in that era as a running back is big around here.”
