Knowshon Moreno

When the Dolphins held running back Knowshon Moreno out of last week’s preseason game it was considered precautionary. Moreno had practiced the entire week but was still recovering from an offseason knee scope.

But Moreno might not be fully back yet. He briefly left practice today and worked on his running on the sideline with trainers and injured center Mike Pouncey. He later returned to team drills.

Coach Joe Philbin was vague after practice. When asked if Moreno’s health is OK, Philbin said “as far as I know.”

Fantasy Impact: 

The team is going to wait and see how the rest of the week goes before deciding if Moreno will play in preseason Week 3. The story also mentioned it could have been a conditioning issue.

Dolphins beat writer James Walker sees the running game as one of his falling stocks:

Two weeks into the preseason, it’s still unknown if Miami has improved its 26th-ranked running game from a year ago under new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor.

The Dolphins are getting little push up front and running backs are being hit early near the line of scrimmage. Miami starting running back Lamar Miller finished with 3 yards on three carries against Tampa Bay.

The Dolphins as a team had minus-5 rushing yards at intermission when starters and key reserves were in the game.

Fantasy Impact: 

Miami’s passing game is having success this preseason. But if opponents eventually figure out the Dolphins can’t run effectively, that will make Miami very predictable and easier to stop on offense. Knowshon Moreno could add some help in this department.

With Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno just one week into practice following arthroscopic knee surgery, Lamar Miller remains the rock-solid bet to start Week 1 against the Patriots.

Moreno, meanwhile, is still shaking off the rust and "starting to look like kind of his old self" as a ball carrier, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin told reporters, per The Miami Herald.

Fantasy Impact: 

This is one of the tougher backfields to predict heading into the season. On one hand, the team went out and signed Moreno, a top 5 fantasy back in 2013. On the other, he has struggled with a knee injury (leading to surgery) and Miller has looked pretty good as the team's RB1. There is a new OC in town (Bill Lazor), so Miller is getting something of a fresh start.

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.
