Clinton Portis: 'Skins Looking to Limit His Workload

Update:
In an effort to decrease Portis' wear and tear, the Redskins have told backup Ladell Betts that he will play more this season, the Washington Post reports. Betts may replace Portis in almost every third-down passing situation.

Recommendation:
Although he'll be just 28 years old this season, Portis has already logged over 2,000 carries and has topped the 325 mark in four of the last five seasons. He hasn't missed a game since 2006, but has been the victim of numerous injuries over the last few seasons that will eventually start to take their toll. If you draft him in the early rounds, it's imperative that you grab Betts later as insurance.
