Denver Broncos 2010 Running Back Preview
Knowshon Moreno
Moreno's rookie season was much like that of the Broncos, average.
But there is potential here and if you like to gamble Moreno could
rank right under Frank Gore at #8.
Moreno has the size to pound in between the tackles every down,
but also has the athleticism to make some big plays. Correll Buckhalter
will take some carries away from Moreno, but should not be considered
a threat.
The offensive line is one of the better ones with left tackle Ryan
Clady and right tackle Ryan Harris, though there are some injury
concerns to watch out for in preseason. The loss of Harris to injury
last season saw the running game and the Broncos struggle after
their 6-0 start. If the line is healthy, Moreno should make a significant
gain in his second season and establish himself as a top fantasy
back.
