The Facts:
Westbrook wants the ball next season and he wants it a lot. He wants Andy Reid to ignore his touch count and let him prove that he can hold up to a regular, 20-carry-a-game load. "I want to be a more important part of the offense this year," said Westbrook.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Westbrook has just two 20-carry games so far in his career and only six games with 22 or more touches. He's never touched the ball more than 252 times in any of his four seasons and has yet to make it through a full season without missing time due to injury. Still, Reid says he'll oblige Westbrook's desire for a heavier workload. "He's the lead dog," the coach said. "He's going to get the ball. ..." Sounds good, but it's May.
