The Denver Broncos have employed a next-man-up attitude at running back this year after RB Willis McGahee (knee) went down, and the team has been successful with RB Knowshon Moreno in his absence. Their 114.5 yards rushing per game ranks seventh in the league. RB Ronnie Hillman fumbled early in the team's Week 17 game and was benched for the rest of the game in favor of RBs Lance Ball and Jacob Hester. Denver still managed to run for 172 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in that contest. 'If you want to say one thing that's great about this team, it's that nobody's selfish,' Ball said. 'That's what you need to have a championship team.'

Knowshon Moreno (RB)

Ladies and gentlemen we have a Knowshon Moreno sighting. I may be crazy, but I I may be crazy, but I believe in this guy. It looks like Moreno has climbed his way out of John Fox’s dog house, and with Willis McGahee on IR, he’s going to be the guy moving forward. Ronnie Hillman just isn’t an every down back, and I don’t think Lance Lance Ball will be a factor. The 25 year old, former George Bulldog is one of the most athletically gifted running backs in the league, and I think he’ll make the most out of this opportunity. Opposing defenses will have to honor THE Peyton Manning first, leaving Moreno with fewer men in the box. It’s getting cold up at the Mile High City, and the Broncos will run the ball more. Moreno totaled 111 total yards last week, and I’d absolutely pick him up going forward. I’d even say he’s worth a start in any upcoming game.

The Broncos threw us a curveball on Sunday as we found out Knowshon Moreno, not rookie Ronnie Hillman would be the starter against Kansas City. Talk throughout the week made it seem that Denver would use a three back committee with Moreno, Hillman and Lance Ball but that strategy proved to be false when you look at the snap count distribution throughout the game.

Hillman played all of seven snaps, Ball only one as Moreno saw a feature back work load with 55 snaps,

Jacob Hester - Hester to be Broncos' short-yardage back

Source: The Huddle

The Denver Broncos signed FB Jacob Hester on Monday, and he will serve as the team's short-yardage back. RB Knowshon Moreno will continue to serve as the featured back.
Huddle Up: Short-yardage likely means goal-line back, thereby cutting into Moreno's fantasy's value. Also with the short-yardage and starting roles defined, it doesn't sound as if there will be much left for fellow backs Ronnie Hillman and Lance Ball.

Knowshon Moreno - Moreno surprise starter for Broncos

Source: The Huddle

RB Knowshon Moreno got the start Sunday for the Denver Broncos and ran for a team-high 85 yards on 20 carries in the Week 12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also added 4 receptions for 26 yards.
Huddle Up: When assessing who would be the primary replacement for injured starter Willis McGahee, Moreno was third on the majority of lists behind rookie Ronnie Hillman and Lance Ball. After all, Moreno had been a healthy inactive the previous eight games, but Hillman (3-9) and Lance Ball (0-0) were almost complete non-factors Sunday, and Moreno, who is regarded to be the superior pass-protector of the 3 backs, looks like the main man in the Mile High City going forward.

Knowshon Moreno listed as Week 12 starter

The Broncos have listed RB Knowshon Moreno as their starter for today's game against the Chiefs.  It's surprising news considering Moreno has been a healthy scratch for most of the year.  But it's clear that he'll be involved now that RB Willis McGahee is out.  This will still be a committee attack, though, with Moreno, Ronnie Hillman, and Lance Ball all seeing action.  Hillman remains the best fantasy bet, but he should now be considered a risk/reward RB3 or flex.  Ditto for Moreno.

After suffering a torn MCL and a compression knee fracture in Week 11, Broncos running back Willis McGahee didn't have much of a chance of playing again during the regular season. On Wednesday, the team moved McGahee to the injured reserve/designated to return list, assuring that he won't be on the field until the playoffs. Reports surfaced after the nature of the injury came to light that McGahee was hoping to play within four-to-six weeks. Now he won't be eligible to play until the AFC Championship game on Jan. 20.

But he has the speed that makes him a true big-play

With Willis McGahee done for the remainder of the regular season, rookie Ronnie Hillman will receive the opportunity many fantasy owners have been waiting for since he was drafted in the spring. Hillman worked his way into the prime backup job to McGahee over a month ago, now he has the starting job but expect Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno to see some time on the field this week.

Only time will tell if Hillman can hold onto the job, but the Broncos clearly drafted him with the intention of being the replacement for McGahee in the future.

Unfortunately, we watched Stafford regress on Sunday as he took a beating and even looked to have a bad back injury at one point in the game. Only Stafford can tell us if the shots he’s been taking on the field are hurting his accuracy but far too often he missed on throws he should have made.

The Denver Post confirms that RB Ronnie Hillman is expected to get the "first call" in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.  RBs Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno also figure to mix in, but Hillman is the most talented option in the McGahee-less backfield.  "He's improved quite a bit," HC Jon Fox said Monday. "He's got excellent vision. He's got excellent burst through the hole."  Fox also called Hillman a "feisty" pass-blocker, which is important with Peyton Manning under center.  We're expecting at least 12-15 touches for Hillman this weekend, with the potential for more if he gets hot.  He'll be an intriguing RB2 option in a plus matchup.

Suffered MCL tear and compression fracture in right knee

Willis McGahee is expected to miss the final six games of the regular season and could be out in the early portion of the postseason after an MRI exam Monday revealed a torn medial collateral ligament and compression fracture in his right knee. Broncos coach John Fox said it could have been worse: McGahee's knee won't require surgery to repair, at least not now. The team will not put him on season-ending injured reserve, which means the Broncos hope to have him back by the playoffs, provided they get that far. (

For the time being, it looks like Hillman will play mostly on first and second down with Ball being used sparringly and in obvious passing situations. Also of note, Ball lost of a fumble
