Fantasy Football.....Portis or Tiki??

I'd take Tiki. Teams are going to key in on Portis and make the Skins win the game passing the ball. Whereas when playing the Giants, you've got Eli who's going to be better this year, and teams aren't going to put as many players in the box. Also, where Portis has more Rushing TD's than Tiki, Tiki is more of a threat to catch the ball in the backfield.

First good arguement that makes me sway my opinion so far...My only thing is Tiki is like 32...whereas Portis is 26. TYPICALLY, RB's don't do well after 30...If they do, they only have 1 good year (see Curtis Martin)

dude can do it without the O-Line as well!

this guy is a monster!

Ive seen games where he would run outside and plow mo-fos down.

This guy is like a much quicker version of Bettis.

I still say go with Tiki. He's not the typical 32 y/o RB, when you think of players like Smith or Martin, they started out running the ball a lot early in there career. Tiki only has about 4 full seasons at RB, and by that, I mean 4 seasons where he's carried the ball as many times as a typical RB. So I don't think you are going to see the wear and tear take a toll on him this year as you might expect a 30+ y/o to take. Besides, even if he doesn't rush for as many yards as Portis, he will still get you 50-60 receptions, which will also help open up the running game a little more.
