stethant Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) With Justin Fargas released, Moreno "ginger," and Buckhalter still mucking around, would anyone consider Lance Ball as a possible spot start in week #1? I'm in a 12-team standard that requires 2RB, 3WR and a flex, so a guy like this could have value for a week or two. I'm not talking full season potential or even draftability, just more as a sneaky start until Moreno and Buckhalter heal up.

I think that if you're considering Lance Ball as a FF starter in week 1 you've got big problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stethant Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 While I can appreciate the skepticism, my thinking was that a starting RB for Denver has to have, on average, more value than a WR3 or RB3/WR4. In this particular league, you're definitely starting a WR3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this particular league, you're definitely starting a WR3. If Moreno/Buckhalter are still on the shelf and McDaniels comes out and says that Ball is going to be the man week 1, you're probably right. The problem is, it's week 1 and you have no idea how Denver is going to handle this. I highly doubt McDaniels tips his hand either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I can't even begin to guess with McDaniels. He's a couple of degrees worse than Shanahan.. I do know that DEN is very likely to struggle to run the ball all year, and that even a healthy Moreno is a strong candidate to be an underacheiver this year, much less someone like LenWhale White, Ball, Hall, or whomever they put back there. The O-line is a bad mix of inexperience, players recovering from injury, and journeymen. For what it's worth, I think Orton's health is at risk as well, and the quality depth at QB is just as bad as it is at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Moreno is practicing today. And he'll be fresh for the season opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
