When drafting a RB in FF, I look at a lot of factors, and mileage is certainly on of them. Personally, I look at touches more than physical age. I rated Steven Jackson and Frank Gore over LT this year specifically for that reason.
This wasn't arbitrary. LT has shown evidence of being more injury-prone with all the wear and tear he's had, having basically missed the playoffs the past two years with injuries. So while I do believe the Tomlinson is still viable as a RB1 in terms of skills, I didn't feel he had the reliability I want in my top back.
I downgraded Clinton Portis for the same reason. Both were on my "let someone else" draft list.
