Moreno may see more playing time

Oct 06, 2009

When Denver drafted Knowshon Moreno with the No. 12 overall pick in April, the plan was for him to be a three-down back and be a major part of the offense.

That plan may be coming into place. It’s partly because of necessity, but Moreno looks like he’s up to taking on more playing time. Denver’s other top rusher, Correll Buckhalter, has a high ankle sprain and he could miss a week or two. His chances of playing in a pivotal game against New England on Sunday could be in jeopardy.

Denver would miss Buckhalter. He has 267 yards rushing and he is averaging an eye-popping 7.2 yards per carry. The free agent signing from Philadelphia has been a perfect fit for Josh McDaniels’ system.

Moreno leads all NFL rookies with 249 yards rushing. He is averaging a very respectable 4.2 yards a carry.

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.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

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.
