So For fantasy football i got the 7th pick in the lottery who should i pick Gore or Portis?

Question

Clinton Portis is gonna be sick with his o line and he was always good but Gore was pretty sick two years ago before his injury. I don't know who i should pick. Tom Brady is rumored to be an option in my league but its always about the running back in the first round so thats out of the question i think...

Answer 1

You should go to www.fieldsoffantasy.com, where you can pick a new team every week!

Answer 2

You trying to tell me a QB that threw 50 TDs last season is out of the question???

Wierd.

As far as Gore and Portis go, they both had about the same amount of yards last season, but Portis had twice as many TDs. Both are injury prone.

Look for gore to split carries with DeShaun Foster as well.

I guess if you can't pick a 50 TD quarterback, you should pick Portis over Gore.

Answer 3

I would take Brady if he is available, then Marion Barber, then Marshawn Lynch, then Portis, then Gore.  If I have the 7th pick I will be hoping for Brady but more realistically shooting for Barber or Lynch.  I will always take someone with a record of scoring rather than a one-hit-wonder like Gore.  Lynch and Barber both tore it up last year, and Barber's situation should only get better.  Portis has shown that the injuries are not affecting him any longer.  I will not be taking Gore with the 7th pick no matter who goes in the first 6.

Answer 4

I'll take Gore with the quickness. Plus with Mike Martz running the offense. Look for Gore to be a major threat out of that backfield. He'll use him just like he used Marshall Faulk. A 1,000 yards rushing, and a 1,000 yards receiving !!!

Answer 5

It really depends on how your league is setup.  Here are a few options:

If your league awards 6 points per passing TD I think you really need to consider Tom Brady.

If you can start 4 or more wide receivers I'd seriously think about Randy Moss.

If your scoring rewards 1 point per-reception I'd take Frank Gore.  In Mike Martz's system he'll be getting alot of passes thrown his way and I think he caught over 50 passes in a season before.

If none of those are true then I'd go with Marion Barber, Clinton Portis, or Marshawn Lynch, in that order.

This is all assuming that Tomlinson, Peterson, Westbrook, Jackson, and Addai are off the board.  If any are available you take them.

Answer 6

If he's still on the board go with Marion Barber. Then Gore, Portis, and Lynch. I personally wont ever touch a QB in the 1st round (just my opinion) so my answer is a bit biased.

Answer 7

Portis
