Broncos HC John Fox on the team's RB depth chart: "I wouldn't read too much into first, second or third. All three played Thursday, and all three will play on Sunday."
Knowshon Moreno started against the Ravens because it was his fifth season opener, and because the Broncos ask their running backs first to protect quarterback Peyton Manning, then worry about carrying the ball.
"It's not that the other two don't do a good job of protecting," Fox said, "because we played them. We just wanted to get the game started to help them get in the flow of the game. I mean, that first game of the year, everybody in there is nervous — including Peyton."
This means that Moreno, Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball will all get some work in Week 2, but Moreno should lead the team again in snaps and touches, and is the best start of the bunch.
