Clinton will be back to 08 form this year. Not the back he was with Denver, but 1200 yards and 8-10 tds.
I don't know how you can believe that. Skins didn't draft Larry Johnson for his AARP check. Portis was horrible last year and the Skins O line will probably have Donovan McScramble all over the pocket trying to throw screens to Cooley and Moss. I'd also go with Welker
Clinton Portis hasn't been a threat in a few years now.
You sound like PBJT. I'm not a big Portis backer this year (didn't go near him in drafts) but other than being hurt in 2009 (8 games or so played) he was a top 10 back in 2008 and top 5 in 2007.

He was hurt half the year.
All sources indicate that he is committed to not having 09 be the beginning of his declice. He's been working hard and even, as a veteran RB, participated in all off-season activities.

I like Welker though for this week.
I will live and die by Portis. I got him in every draft I did.
People were picking Donald Brown while he was still on the board. It's silly how one bad, injury plagued year can hurt your reputation.

It just seems a lot like what happened to Shaun Alexander. One injury season and then the bottom drops out. If the Skins hadn't picked up LJ, I'd have a better feeling about it.

They picked up LJ as a cheap insurance policy to Clinton. LJ is still the back-up.

So if you feel that 1 injury season (although see 2006 -> 2007) is the end for Portis why are you backing LJ who due to injuries and suspensions hasn't played a 16 game season since 2006?
