Each week, we take a look at interesting stats accumulated so far in 2009 for fantasy football. But, some of the trends in stats actually had their genesis in the 2008 season. USA Today cites four players who are continuing trends from last year, including Clinton Portis.
Some Stat Trends Began in 2008
Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins: Through his first five games of this year, Portis is averaging nearly 68 rushing yards and has scored just once. However, his descent into statistical mediocrity began last season in Week 13. After having rushed for 120 or more yards in six of the Redskins’ previous eight games, Portis finished the final five weeks of the season averaging only 56 yards per game. He also lost two fumbles in that time.
