The Facts:
Redskins HC Joe Gibbs said that while he expects Clinton Portis to remain the Redskins' starter at tailback next season, the workload probably will be divided more evenly between Portis and Ladell Betts than it has been in the past. "A lot of times it will be kind of in [Portis'] hands, but down the stretch I don't know if anyone played better than Ladell," Gibbs said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Post staffer Mark Maske noted, Betts thrived as the Redskins' primary ballcarrier in the late stages of last season with Portis hurt, and re-signed with the club before becoming a free agent. And as
previously noted, Portis' recovery from December shoulder surgery is on track and he plans to be at full speed in time for training camp. It will be interesting to see how the division of touches plays out through camp and pre-season play. Needless to say, we'll be watching closely.
