It should also be noted that Portis had *exceptionally* high carries his first two years here, well over 300 in back to back years. Not a surprise to this squad given what happened last year, but it's also a pretty well known stats that RB's who see a excessive touches (carries + receptions) are almost universally due for injury problems and only a very minute fraction of those RB's ever return to the elite ranks again after such problems.

This effect is well documented among fantasy football circles, but it's worth mentioning here because it really does look like we're starting to see a downward slide in CP's game. If anybody's interested I can dig up one of the articles on the subject, it's an eye-opening (and, for Redskins fans, probably somewhat depressing) read.
