Broncos could use RB by committee

Jul 08, 2013

The Denver Broncos Web site says the RB race seems to be relatively wide open after Willis McGahee's release.

HC John Fox's Carolina teams seemingly always had two big-time backs that could rotate every other series or so -- Stephen Davis and DeShaun Foster, then Foster and DeAngelo Williams, then Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

Could it be the same situation with Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman? Could Knowshon Moreno factor in? Something to keep an eye on as camp progresses. But to answer your question, yes, Ball will get to battle for the starting spot.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears Ball will have every chance to take over the starting role at some point this season. Of course it could end up being a committee with Hillman and even Moreno, who played well last year, getting chances. We rank Ball highest among the three at 25th, but he's trending down, so taking him in the fourth round where his ADP is could be a bit risky right now. It's definitely one of the bigger situations to monitor when camp starts.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
