IrishPride Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 IND and KC 3.6 YPC SEA 2.7 YPC Arizona has given up 142 rushing yards to opposing running backs, so our expectations should be low similar to Seattle #'s unless he's more active in passing game. 2014 - 18 touches a game, out of 185 offensive plays about 10% on offense that's ranked 22nd overall. Broncos Offense in 2014 season Rushing -75yds game - 28th Passing - 264yds game - 10th Total yards - 339yds - 22nd So the Denver offense in 2013 season Rushing - 117yds game - 15th Passing - 340yds game - 1st Total yards - 457game - 1st Don't count him out yet, the entire offense is struggling in 2014.

LookingForALeague Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Montee Ball has 6 carries for 7 yards. Hillman comes in and has 3 carries for 14 yds. As a Ball owner, I'm officially starting to panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookingForALeague Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 With the Jets, 49'ers, and Chargers weeks 6-8, it's looking like Montee will be on the bench until week 9 for my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookingForALeague Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 10 carries for 55 yards so far for Hillman. I'm in a league with only 6 roster spots, unfortunately I didn't handcuff Ball with Hillman. Looks like I flunked Fantasy 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspot Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There really can be no question or argument anymore. Outside of Peterson, who was drafted top 3 in most leagues, Montee Ball will be the biggest bust of the fantasy season for some, who like me, agreed with the Huddle's pre-season ranking. He will not finish in the top 100 overall. Taken in the top 12 in some drafts, that is the pure definition of a BUST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one stat that kept getting me was starting RB's on Peyton Manning teams finished in the top 5 for RB's for 11 out of Peyton's 15 seasons or something like that. Montee is a bust, plain and simple. Edited October 5, 2014 by LookingForALeague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dope man Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Pretty sad that I will be playing T.Rich in his place as RB2 in the league I have Ball....already a long way behind and playing catch up, it will not be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to panic unless he completely crapped the bed tonight...which is exactly what he did. And now with Hillman looking good, Ball might find himself in a RBBC or a backup again.

DMD Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Before you go spending big in FA to get Hillman, realize that he only had one run in the first half for a one yard loss. If you watched the game, the Cardinals defense was very good plugging holes in the first half. The Cards defense eventually wore down. Even Ball's final carry went for five yards. He had a nine yard catch prior to that. It is not unusual that a good defense can hold down the runner they have prepared to face and when the replacement comes in he seeming runs better. Eight of Hillman's carries went for one yard or less. Hillman had no catches. The bigger surprise to me is less that facing good defenses for the first four games has depressed his rushing, but that DEN is not throwing the ball to RBs as much as they did in 2013, especially since they have not been using a two-back backfield. Catches helps smooth out the effects of facing better defenses. Last year they went against the NFC East and the AFC south which gave them a much lighter schedule than this year when they go against the defenses in the NFC West and later the AFC East. I expected more of Ball but facing the currently ranked teams vs RB of IND(18), KC(9), SEA(6) and ARI (4) have been tough and next week is NYJ (2) and then SF (3). That won't be good either no matter who starts. I have by no means given up on him but he is one of the players who has not my expectations same as every year is going to hold and in particular this year with so many disappointments in top RBs. After week 7 vs SF, DEN won't face another top ten defense against RB. At least that will be a much more favorable situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForALeague Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 \ If it wasn't projected to be a committee with Ball, why would it be with Hillman, who actually ran excellent today? Who knows, it could just be Hillman as the bellcow with the way he performed today. But one thing is for sure, the Denver RB situation is going to get pretty murky.

But one thing is for sure, the Denver RB situation is going to get pretty murky. My take is it has been a debacle so far...over-reliance on the pass in games they could run and then inability to run in other games. If Hillman can give a shot to the Running attack, they will roll with him I bet. And there is NO fear in the Jets or 49ers...the Chargers had a RB go for 100+ today against the Jets, though they are usually pretty good v. the run.
