Montee Ball hopes to be cleared this week

Montee Ball will visit his doctor Monday in the hope he will be cleared to practice this week.

The Broncos' starting running back missed the previous two weeks to recover from an appendectomy. Even if Ball does receive his doctor's clearance, the Broncos' medical team may not allow him to take contact during practices Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in preparation to play Houston. And he may not play in the Broncos' third preseason game against the Texans.

"But I am hoping so," he said. "I'm tired of sitting around."

Fantasy Impact: 

It's good news Ball is nearly back, even if he doesn't get any preseason action. The team said they aren't concerned either way and won't rush him. He may get eased in and get off to a slow start in the regular season as a result, but there doesn't seem any need to panic and we expect him to take over the RB1 role sooner than later.

Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman appears to be taking advantage of Montee Ball’s absence due to an appendectomy. While practicing up-tempo, he caught a long pass down the right sideline, and on the next play he took the ball down the middle for a big gain.

Fantasy Impact: 

At this point, Hillman is probably the back to own as Ball's handcuff, though C.J. Anderson is breathing down his neck.

Broncos RB C.J. Anderson, who had suffered a concussion in the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks, was back on the practice field Thursday morning, a week after leaving the Broncos' 21-16 victory. The Broncos will steadily work him back in, but Anderson did take a smattering of snaps with the starting offense while sporting a new type of helmet, similar to what Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker wears. With Montee Ball still working back from an appendectomy, Ronnie Hillman took most of the work with the starters. Anderson and rookie Juwan Thompson also got snaps as well. Asked how he felt Thursday, Anderson said he was sluggish. "I mean, I've been off as far as conditioning. Headache and all that, all that's done. I've got a new helmet. It's brand new, so I'm trying to break it in. Kind of tight at times, but I feel fine and you don't miss a beat."

During his 2013 DirecTV promotional campaign, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning visited with Pro Football Talk on NBCSN and gave all fantasy owners a head’s up regarding the looming emergence of tight end Julius Thomas.

This year, with Manning specifically promoting the launch of a DirecTV fantasy football channel, Manning has another piece of advice for fantasy owners: Montee Ball.

Manning mentioned Ball on multiple occasions during the interview, which lends credence to the idea that the the 2013 second-round pick will become a potential workhorse for the Broncos. As soon as he recovers from a recent appendectomy.

Fantasy Impact: 

No surprise here. We've had Ball ranked in the top 7 since Knowshon Moreno signed with the Dolphins. Ball had a higher YPC (4.7) than Moreno (4.3), but wasn’t quite the weapon in the passing game. Still, his catch percentage (receptions/targets = 74.1%) wasn’t bad for a running back. His play down the stretch (8.5 FP/game in final eight games) is encouraging. He’s locked in as the RB1 in a great offense, so 10+ touchdowns seems likely. We're not too concerned about the appendectomy, but it is weighing down his ADP, which is good for savvy owners looking for value in the 2nd round.
