The Denver Post

Knowshon Moreno was the Broncos' starting tailback the previous two seasons, as well as in the season opener this year. He missed the next two games with a hamstring injury, and by the time he returned, Willis McGahee had earned the No. 1 role.

Moreno has only 17 carries through six games this year for 54 yards. He also has eight catches for 92 yards. He will start in place of the injuryed McGahee.

Fantasy Impact:

Lance Ball is expected to be in the mix as well, and given the team will probably have some scripted run plays for Tim Tebow, it becomes a less-attractive situation.

Broncos RB McGahee to miss 1-2 weeks

Pro Football Talk

Broncos running back Willis McGahee will miss 1-2 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand.

The Broncos host Detroit this week, and will have to rely on Knowshon Moreno and Lance Ball to carry the load in the backfield. It was telling that Ball received many of the carries Sunday after McGahee was hurt.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story indicates, Ball did get carries over Moreno once McGahee left the game. McGahee is worth holding onto it seems, and should get his job back.

Running back Willis McGahee left Sun Life Stadium with a soft cast on his right hand after suffering a fracture.

McGahee had his right ring finger and right pinkie wrapped. The Broncos' medical staff was reviewing X-rays after the game, and McGahee is expected to see a hand specialist today.

Fantasy Impact:

If McGahee needs surgery, he would miss significant time. Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno saw more time once McGahee left the game. Moreno, who lost the job to McGahee, should be in line for more work and would be extra valuable in PPR leagues as Tim Tebow tries to get accustomed to NFL life.

Knowshon Moreno didn't practice last week, missed the Cincinnati game and isn't expected to be full speed this week.

Willis McGahee, now in his ninth NFL season, rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries Sunday, helping the Broncos beat the Bengals 24-22 in Denver. That was McGahee's first 100-yard game since the 2009 regular-season finale, when he was with the Ravens. It was the most carries McGahee had since Dec. 16, 2007, when he gained 104 yards on 29 carries against the Dolphins.

Giving 25 or more carries to McGahee week after week would be a lot to ask of him. And that would beat up the Broncos' best option in short-yardage and goal-line situations.

They likely will work Lance Ball into the mix more. Ball gained 28 yards on six carries Sunday, including a 17-yard gallop — the Broncos' longest run of the game. They also may give some carries to Jeremiah Johnson and to fullback Spencer Larsen while waiting for Moreno to return.
