I'm guessing somewhere around 1500, but I think he'll have less carries than last year but a higher yards per carry.

Portis is a beast and a workhorse, but as we saw at the end of last year, riding him game after game wears him out eventually. He's just not the kind of back you can give 25+ carries a game to week after week and expect him to stay healthy in the long run.

I think we'll see heavy doses of Betts at times this year to keep CP fresh.
