Fantasy News
Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 23, 2009 |
Fanball
News: ESPN.com is reporting that Broncos' quarterback Kyle Orton has been cleared to practice this week with the team. Orton didn't start on Sunday due to lingering effects from an ankle injury.
Impact: Great news here for the Broncos, as Chris Simms proved last week that he is not a capable NFL starter right now. Denver is on a short week, but it looks like Orton should be able to go Thursday against the Giants. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Mon. Nov 23, 2009 |
STATS
News: Simms was just 2 for 4 for 10 yards in Sunday's 32-3 loss to the Chargers.
Impact: After getting sacked twice and losing a fumble as the Broncos fell behind early, he was replaced by Orton, who didn't take a single snap in practice last week because of a sprained ankle. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact: He's working behind Knowshon Moreno, but the Broncos may run a bit more than usual this week with Chris Simms slated to be behind center. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (neck) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact: It looks like Chris Simms is starting at QB for the Broncos, but benching Marshall is probably not an option on the heels of back-to-back strong games. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Correll Buckhalter was a non-factor on Sunday, carrying the ball just seven times for 35 yards in Denver's devastating 32-3 loss to the Chargers.
Impact: Despite his bad day, rookie Knowshon Moreno had another crippling lost fumble, likely meaning Buckhalter will continue to receive a steady dose of carries going forward. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: After completing 2-of-4 passes for ten yards on Sunday, Chris Simms was pulled in favor of the injured Kyle Orton.
Impact: Simms just doesn't have the look of an NFL quarterback anymore. So much so, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels was willing to gamble with an immobile and aching Orton. Even if he were to garner a start down the stretch because of injury to Orton, he is not an acceptable fantasy fill-in. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Knowshon Moreno carried the ball ten times for 80 yards on Sunday, but lost a fumble, as Denver got blown away 32-3 by division rival San Diego.
Impact: It was Moreno's fourth lost fumble of the season, and his role with a free-falling Denver team should continue to remain in flux for the time being. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: After starter Chris Simms was ineffective on Sunday, an injured Kyle Orton (ankle) entered the game and stunk it up against the Chargers in a crucial NFC West game, completing just 15-of-29 passes for 171 yards and an interception.
Impact: Denver's desperation gambit did not pay off, and a free-falling Broncos team may have to consider letting Orton recuperate to 100 percent before running him out there again. Matt Prater - #5 - Kicker - 5'10" - 180lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Prater connected on his lone field goal attempt, a 23-yarder, Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Prater has done little as of late due to the Broncos' struggling offense and is easily replaceable as a kicker. Daniel Graham - #89 - Tight End - 6'3" - 257lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Graham had one catch for four yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Graham was hardly a viable fantasy starting option and has done nothing as of late to change that. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis had one catch for three yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Hillis plays such a small role in the Broncos' offense that he is not even worthy of a roster spot at this point. Tony Scheffler - #88 - Tight End - 6'5" - 250lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Scheffler had one catch for 12 yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Scheffler has had a disappointing fantasy season so far and remains a questionable player for a roster spot. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (neck) had three catches for 26 yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: The injury to Kyle Orton has had an obvious effect on Marshall, who was just starting to get going over the past couple of weeks. If Orton can get healthy again, expect Marshall to put up the bigger numbers again. Eddie Royal - #19 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Royal had four catches for 29 yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Another awful fantasy performance from Royal, who should only be starting in desperate situations. Jabar Gaffney - #10 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 200lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gaffney had three catches for 55 yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Another low scoring day for Gaffney, who shouldn't be on many fantasy rosters. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter (knee) rushed seven times for 35 yards and has three catches for 46 yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Buckhalter had been hampered during the week in practice with a knee issue, but he put in a pretty standard game against the Chargers. While Buckhalter puts up decent yardage, he has only found the end zone once this season back in Week 2. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moreno had 10 carries for 80 yards and one catch for six yards on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Moreno fumbled within the Chargers' five-yard line, which led to an argument and shoving match with wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Fantasy owners were reminded that despite the preseason hype and top spot on the Broncos' running back depth chart, Moreno has only scored two touchdowns all season. He remains the No. 1 back for the Broncos, but still struggles to put up big fantasy numbers. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simms completed 2-of-4 passes for 10 yards and a lost fumble in less than two quarters of action on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Simms was removed with 4:10 left in the second quarter for Kyle Orton, who was questionable going into the game because of an injured ankle. With Orton back in action, Simms will likely not see the field much more. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) completed 15-of-29 passes for 171 yards and one interception on Sunday against San Diego.
Impact: Orton, who did not start the game, entered with 4:10 left in the second quarter for an ineffective Chris Simms. While Orton was clearly injured enough not to start the game, the coaching staff was confident that he could help the Broncos even with the injured ankle. Nevertheless, the team lost 32-3 and Orton struggled in action. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins left Sunday's game against the Chargers in the second quarter with a neck injury, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: More on Dawkins, who had four tackles before his exit, as it becomes available. LaMont Jordan - #32 - Running back - 5'10" - 230lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Week 11 inactives: QB Tom Brandstetter (3rd), RB LaMont Jordan, WR Brandon Lloyd, OT Ryan Harris, DL Chris Baker, DE Robert Ayers, WR Kenny McKinley, and OG Seth Olsen.
Impact: QB Kyle Orton (ankle) is active and the Broncos haven't officially named a starter yet, though earlier reports had Chris Simms starting. Also, WR Brandon Marshall (neck) is active and will start, while RB Correll Buckhalter (knee) is active and will play. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kyle Orton replaced Simms as the Broncos' quarterback with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact: We'll see if Orton can make it through the rest of the game on his balky ankle, but Simms completed 2-of-4 passes for 10 yards and was sacked twice before his departure. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) replaced Chris Simms as the Broncos quarterback with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact: Orton's ankle may not be in perfect shape, but evidently it's good enough for the Broncos to roll him out in relief, with the Chargers having assumed a 13-0 lead. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chris Simms will start in place of Kyle Orton against San Diego, according to Adam Schefter's twitter page.
Impact: Simms, who hasn't started since Week 3 of the 2006 season, faces the Chargers 11th ranked pass defense, making him a weak play this afternoon. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton (ankle) is not expected to play against San Diego, according to the NFL Network.
Impact: Orton did not practice this week and is listed as questionable on the official injury report. This is a late game, so Orton's playing status might not be known until later this afternoon. But it's not a good sign that he didn't take any first-team repetitions this week. If Orton can't go, Chris Simms will make his first start since the third week of the 2006 season. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) will suit up as the Broncos' No. 2 quarterback on Sunday, ESPN reports.
Impact: He'll be available off the bench if anything happens to Chris Simms, but Orton should be on the bench for fantasy owners in Week 11 as he's not getting the start. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simms will start for the Broncos on Sunday against the Chargers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: He's still not a high-percentage play, but Kyle Orton owners who need Simms this week can adjust accordingly. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton's (ankle) teammate, Chris Simms, will start for the Broncos on Sunday against the Chargers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: No word yet on whether Orton will suit up as a backup, but stay away from him this week. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Though Kyle Orton is still going to try to give it a go, it looks like Simms is in line to start Sunday's game against the Chargers, ESPN's John Clayton reports.
Impact: Though it looks like Simms will get the nod, as long as Orton has any chance to play, Simms is only really an option if you need to make a QB flip before the second wave of kickoffs Sunday. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: As of Saturday afternoon, Orton's ankle had not recovered enough to play, but the Broncos plan to give him one more try Sunday morning at Invesco Field, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: Unless a good night's sleep does wonders for Orton's ankle, look for Chris Simms to be the Broncos' starting quarterback Sunday against the Chargers. Even if Orton does suit up, he'd be a risk, and at best, he'd be hobbled. Factor in that the Broncos kick off during the second set of games this week, and this is a situation to avoid. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton's ankle has still not healed to the point where he would be able to start against the Chargers on Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: At this point, word on his injury could either be gamesmanship or a motivational ploy for the Broncos. He's a true game-time decision, and you will likely have to wait until around an hour before kickoff to know his status. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Correll Buckhalter fully practiced Friday after sitting out yesterday while nursing his ailing knee, according to the Broncos' official website.
Impact: Buckhalter is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, who have been struggling against the run this season. He will battle prized rookie Knowshon Moreno for playing time. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Marshall (neck) is probable for Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: Marshall, coming off of two straight monster games, will play on Sunday against the Chargers. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (neck) practiced fully again on Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: Marshall is coming off a couple of big games, but he could take a bit of a hit this week if Kyle Orton sits and the Broncos are forced to roll with Chris Simms at QB. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter (knee) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: It looks like Buckhalter will be fine this weekend, but he has clearly taken a backseat to rookie Knowshon Moreno in recent weeks. LaMont Jordan - #32 - Running back - 5'10" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jordan (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: The Broncos will continue to roll with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter, who is listed as probable this week. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton (ankle) is not practicing in Broncos practice on Friday, but still has a definite chance of playing on Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: "Absolutely" was the word used by head coach Josh McDaniels when asked if Orton, who is officially listed as questionable, may be able to play on Sunday. With this game, against the Chargers, being for pretty much all the marbles in the NFC West, expect Orton to at least begin the game as Denver's quarterback. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: As he has all week, Simms took first-team practice reps at QB Friday, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: Though starter Kyle Orton didn't practice all week, he's still considered a game-time decision, which limits Simms' value to that of an emergency plug-in for those who own (and normally start) Orton. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (sprained left ankle) missed his third consecutive practice Friday, the Denver Post reports. Coach Josh McDaniels says that Orton's availability for Sunday's game against San Diego will be a game-time decision.
Impact: McDaniels says that Orton will be put through a workout before Sunday's game and how he performs at that time will determine whether he plays or not. Given the fact that the Broncos play during the second wave of games Sunday, Orton probably isn't worth the risk, even in deep leagues, unless you have his backup Chris Simms handy for a last-minute plug-in. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (neck and back) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: We'll see where he lands on Friday's official injury report, but we'd be surprised if Marshall wasn't out there Sunday against the Chargers. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Though coach Josh McDaniels said that Orton (ankle) was feeling better, it was Chris Simms who was the one taking snaps during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Orton wants to tough it out this week against the Chargers, but we'll have to see what he is able to do Friday. Chances are, he'll end up with a legitimate "questionable" tag for Week 11's game. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Broncos' wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to practice on Thursday, according to the Twitter page of NFL writer Adam Caplan. Marshall missed Wednesday with a neck injury.
Impact: It looks like Marshall should be fine this week, and we were never really too worried about this injury. Fantasy owners should get him in the lineup, but it might not be a bad idea to check on him before kickoff just in case. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Correll Buckhalter (knee) was absent from Broncos practice on Thursday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: Buckhalter wasn't initially expected to be in danger of missing this weekend's showdown with the Chargers, though it can't be good news that he's out today. Whether, and in what regard, he practices on Friday will tell you most of what you need to know about starting him this weekend. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said on Thursday that Kyle Orton is "making progress" with his injured left ankle, but that he will still be a game-time decision this weekend, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: If Orton can move on Sunday, he will almost certainly be under center after the train-wreck of a performance put on by Chris Simms last week. The Broncos will be fighting for their season against the Chargers, and definitely want to do so with their regular starting quarterback, even if he's banged up. LaMont Jordan - #32 - Running back - 5'10" - 230lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jordan (back) was not present during the media access portion of Thursday's practice, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports.
Impact: Jordan has not been much of a factor for the Broncos this season, but with Correll Buckhalter also missing practice, the Broncos' RB depth heading into Week 11 is being taxed. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter, who was limited with a knee injury on Wednesday, was not present during the media access portion of Thursday's practice, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports.
Impact: LaMont Jordan is also banged up, leaving Knowshon Moreno and Peyton Hillis as the team's healthy ball carriers at the moment. More on Buckhalter's status Friday. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Associated Press is reporting that Orton (ankle) has torn ligaments in his ankle, but remains optimistic to play in Sunday's game against San Diego, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Impact: Orton's injury is different than the ankle injury he suffered last season and he says the two are completely unrelated. The ankle has apparently improved over the course of the week, which is why Orton thinks he will be able to go on Sunday. While he certainly is not practicing fully, the team is leaving the door wide open for him to start against the Chargers. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier report, Kyle Orton has torn ligaments in his injured left ankle, according to the Associated Press.
Impact: Orton is still hopeful of playing Sunday against the Chargers. He realizes that he cannot afford to miss any action while trying to convince the team to re-sign him after his contract expires after the season. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Marshall did not practice Wednesday while nursing a neck ailment, according to the Broncos' official website.
Impact: Marshall racked up 246 receiving yards and two touchdowns over his last two games, and the Chargers' secondary will have their hands full on Sunday, assuming his neck does not keep him out. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton did not practice Wednesday while dealing with his ankle injury, according to the Associated Press.
Impact: Chris Simms practiced as the No. 1 quarterback in his absence. Orton is still hopeful of playing Sunday against rival San Diego. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: Most of the Broncos' injury intrigue this week has surrounded QB Kyle Orton, so we'll have to see if Buckhalter's status for Sunday's game is in any doubt as the week progresses. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (neck) did not practice Wednesday, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: This is the first we've heard of this injury, so don't panic just yet. More on his Marshall's status for Sunday's big game against the Charges as the week continues. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simms ran with the first team offense in place of Kyle Orton during the Broncos' morning practice session on Wednesday, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: Orton's ankle injury will likely keep him out of practice this week, but the team is hopeful he can play on Sunday against San Diego. Simms will get the start if Orton can't go, although he is hardly a viable fantasy start. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) did not practice during the team's early session on Wednesday, but is optimistic to play on Sunday, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: Orton said he would try to participate in the afternoon activities, but it seems that the team will likely keep him out in order to rest his injured ankle and be as ready as possible for Sunday's game against San Diego. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis has almost completely been removed from the Broncos' offensive scheme, although it appears head coach Josh McDaniels would still consider adding him back at some point, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports.
Impact: Hillis was the Broncos' leading rusher last year, although most of that had to do with the rash of injuries that the team had to deal with. Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter have a strong hold on the carries and Hillis is hardly a fantasy contributor of any kind. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) will be at the podium for Wednesday's starting quarterback press conference, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: That's no guarantee he will play in Week 11, but it's an indication the Broncos are at least hoping that with the benefit of time and treatment, Orton will be out there Sunday against the Chargers. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
Fanball
News: NFL.com is reporting that Broncos' quarterback Kyle Orton will play in Sunday's game against the Chargers. Orton is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered just before halftime on Sunday.
Impact: Orton will probably be limited in practice this week, but it looks like he will play in the monster contest against the Bolts this week. Good thing too, because Chris Simms struggled badly in his time under center last week. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (left ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Denver Post reports. "Not sure how that's going to go," coach Josh McDaniels said Monday. "We're going to see how he progresses during the course of the next few days and see if and when Kyle is ready to go. Whether that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (or) not at all. He's definitely not out for the game. We're certainly hopeful we can get him ready to go."
Impact: That's about as cloudy as it gets, but we do know that backup Chris Simms is in line to take first team snaps as long as Orton is sidelined. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Marshall had five catches for 134 yards and touchdowns of 40 and 75 yards in the first quarter, but the Broncos lost 27-17 Sunday at Washington.
Impact: It was the second straight 100-yard game for Marshall, who hadn't scored in the past three weeks. Still, if Kyle Orton is injured for any length of time, he'll have to rely on Chris Simms to get him the ball. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Moreno had 18 carries for 97 yards but the Broncos lost their third straight on Sunday, this time 27-17 at Washington.
Impact: Moreno had five carries for three yards in a loss to Pittsburgh on Monday, so this was a big step up. Still, it's tough to tell what you're getting week to week with the rookie, who's only scored two touchdowns. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Denver coach Josh McDaniels said on Monday that Kyle Orton (ankle) is questionable for Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: He also said not to expect any official word until the end of the week. If he is unable to go, the Chris Simms horror show will get to be on display for a full game against San Diego. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton looks doubtful for Week 11 against the Chargers after injuring his ankle on Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Impact: That would be Denver's all-important Week 11 showdown with the Chargers. With the team struggling the way it is, it was going to be hard enough for them to beat the surging Chargers. With Chris Simms starting at quarterback, it will be all but impossible. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Following the Week 10 loss to the Redskins, Kyle Orton was seen walking around the locker room using crutches and with ice on his left ankle, Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post notes.
Impact: This news doesn't mean the injury is serious, and we're still awaiting more details. If Week 10 is any indication, this offense will be in trouble if Chris Simms has to start in Week 11. That said, Simms would probably benefit from a full week of work with the first-string offense. We'll know more on Orton in the coming days. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chris Simms completed three-of-13 passes for 13 yards, no scores, and one interception in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins. He played the entire second half.
Impact: Let's give him a break. Simms hasn't taken a meaningful snap in an NFL regular season game since Week 3 of the 2006 campaign. If Kyle Orton's ankle injury lingers, Simms could start in Week 11. Gulp. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Knowshon Moreno rushed 18 times for 97 yards and caught two passes for seven yards in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins. His day included a career-long 28-yard run.
Impact: It was nice to see Moreno have some success after he was shut down by the Ravens and Steelers over the last two weeks. Like the rest of the Broncos' offense, he slowed down once Chris Simms took over. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Marshall caught first-quarter touchdowns of 40 and 75 yards and finished with five receptions for 134 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins.
Impact: That's two straight huge efforts for Marshall, but his owners have to be a little concerned about the quarterback situation. The Broncos' offense stalled completely after Kyle Orton hurt his ankle and turned over the keys to Chris Simms. Let's hope Orton heals quickly. Elvis Dumervil - #92 - Linebacker - 5'11" - 260lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dumervil had four tackles and one sack on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: While only 5'11", Dumervil has been able to put up huge sack numbers this year and now has 11.5 on the season, good enough to lead the NFL. D.J. Williams - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 242lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Williams had ten tackles on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: Another solid game from the tackle machine. Andra Davis - #54 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 250lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis had 12 tackles and one sack on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: With more playing time, Davis is making himself into a solid contributor to the Broncos' defense. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins had 14 tackles on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: A huge output for the veteran safety, who now has six games with at least five tackles. Matt Prater - #5 - Kicker - 5'10" - 180lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Prater connected on a 24-yard field goal and was a perfect 2-of-2 on extra points on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: A pretty standard game for Prater, who is known more for his accuracy beyond 50+ yards. Brandon Stokley - #14 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 192lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stokley had one catch for 15 yards on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: Stokley hasn't done a lot this season to garner much fantasy interest and Sunday's game did little to change that. Eddie Royal - #19 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Royal had two catches for 21 yards on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: Another disappointing performance from Royal, who hasn't found the end zone this season after scoring five last year during his rookie campaign. Tony Scheffler - #88 - Tight End - 6'5" - 250lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Scheffler had four catches for 29 yards on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: Scheffler has only had one solid fantasy game this season and continues to be a questionable start from the tight end position. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter had two carries for 11 yards and a fumble on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: Rookie Knowshon Moreno has established himself as the starter, although Buckhalter had been able to put up some good stats on his own. Unfortunately on Sunday his fumble doomed him and he didn't see much action afterwards. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moreno had 18 carries for 97 yards and two catches for seven yards on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: A solid improvement over his dud in the team's previous game, Moreno has clearly established himself as the main running back option for the Broncos. While he didn't get into the end zone on Sunday, he was very close to rushing for his first 100-yard game. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simms, playing for the injured Kyle Orton, completed 3-of-13 passes for 13 yards and one interception on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: A dreadful performance by Simms, who entered the preseason with a shot at starting over Kyle Orton. Simms had not played in an NFL game since 2008 and his stats showed that he still might not be ready. The severity of Orton's ankle injury isn't known at this time, but it is possible that Simms could be the starter for the team's next game against San Diego. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton (ankle) completed 11-of-18 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns before going down with an injured ankle on Sunday against the Redskins.
Impact: The severity of the ankle is still unknown, but it is possible that he could miss next week's game against San Diego. A significant hit to the Broncos' offense, as Orton had completed two long touchdown passes to Brandon Marshall before he went down. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall had five catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns, as well as one carry for nine yards on Sunday against Washington.
Impact: A huge game for Marshall, who did a majority of his work in the first half before quarterback Kyle Orton was injured and did not return for the second half. Marshall's touchdowns were 40 and 75 yards in the first quarter and established him early as a big threat. While the Broncos have now lost three straight, Marshall has been improving significantly and is close to being back to the elite status he had last season. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton said after Sunday's loss to the Redskins that it was too soon to say whether he would be able to play against the Chargers next weekend, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Chris Simms, who took over for Orton Sunday, waits in the wings in the event that Orton's injury causes him to miss time. D.J. Williams - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 242lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Linebacker D.J. Williams returned quickly after suffering a minor neck injury in the third quarter of the Week 10 game against the Redskins.
Impact: IDP fantasy owners can breath easy. It looks like the stud linebacker is fine. D.J. Williams - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 242lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Linebacker D.J. Williams was shaken up early in the third quarter of the Week 10 game against the Redskins. He may have suffered a head or neck injury, but he headed to the sidelines under his own power.
Impact: The injury did not appear to be serious, but it can be tough to tell if it a head or neck issue. Williams is a stud IDP talent, and Wesley Woodyard has taken his place. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton has a heavy wrap on his left ankle, and it appears as though Chris Simms will step in at quarterback to start the second half of the Week 10 game against the Redskins.
Impact: Orton had a big first half (193 yards, two scores), so his fantasy owners can't complain too much. Let's hope the offense doesn't stall with Simms stepping in. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Kyle Orton limped to the sideline after taking an awkward sack late in the second quarter of the Week 10 game against the Redskins.
Impact: We don't know the severity at this point, but he was clearly limping as the Broncos headed to the locker room. Chris Simms would need to come in if Orton can't return for the second half. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
STATS
News: Orton completed 15 of 29 for 171 yards with an interception in Sunday's 32-3 loss to San Diego.
Impact: After three fruitless drives led to a 13-0 deficit, Denver coach Josh McDaniels summoned Orton, who hadn't practiced all week but threw well enough in warm-ups to give it a go. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton twisted his ankle late in the first half of Sunday's game against Washington and did not return, the Denver Post reports. He was replaced by Chris Simms to start the second half.
Impact: Simms was under center for the remainder of the game, while Orton's status for next week and beyond remains uncertain. Chris Simms - #2 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simms took over for an injured Kyle Orton in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Redskins.
Impact: Simms hadn't thrown a pass since 2008 before this game. Orton's return is doubtful. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis is inactive for Sunday's game in Washington, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: He practiced this week after missing Monday's game due to a death in his family, but Hillis hasn't involved in the Broncos rushing attack as more than a blocker this season. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (back) is active for Sunday's game in Washington.
Impact: He had his best game of the season last week against Pittsburgh and shouldn't be limited against the Redskins on Sunday. Ryan Harris - #74 - Tackle - 6'5" - 300lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Broncos have made Harris inactive Sunday against the Chargers due to a toe injury.
Impact: Harris has started seven games this seaon and was also bothered by a shoulder injury. It is uncertain when he will return. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (back) practiced fully again Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: It looks safe to use Marshall as you normally would Sunday, especially with him coming off an 11-catch outburst in Week 9. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall (back) practiced fully Thursday, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: We'll check back on Marshall's status Friday, but look for him to be listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Redksins. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis is expected to be back with the Broncos for Sunday's game against Washington after missing the team's Monday night game against Pittsburgh due to the death of his grandmother, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact: Hillis has been a tiny part of the Broncos' rushing attack this season and the team seems content using him as its primary full back and that's it. Rashod Moulton - #40 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 190lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Broncos have signed Moulton to their practice squad.
Impact: Moulton takes the spot that opened when the New York Giants signed cornerback D.J. Johnson to their active roster from Denver's practice squad Wednesday. Moulton was on the Broncos' practice squad for the last half of last season. He was waived Sept. 4. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall did not practice on Wednesday due to a back issue, the Sports Network reports.
Impact: More on his status in the coming days, but whatever is ailing his back didn't prevent Marshall from hauling in 11 receptions for 112 yards in Denver's loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: Orton threw for 221 yards but was intercepted three times without throwing a touchdown in the Broncos' 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Impact: The luster is quickly fading from Orton's fast start in Denver, and it won't get any easier next week, when he faces Washington's top-ranked pass defense. He does not look like a strong fantasy play at the moment. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: Moreno had five carries for three yards in the Broncos' 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Impact: Anyone who started the rookie against the Steelers' tough run defense was immensely disappointed. Denver all but abandoned the run and Correll Buckhalter started and got nine carries to Moreno's five. Consider this a big setback for the rookie's fantasy rise. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: Marshall had 11 catches for 112 yards in the Broncos' 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Impact: It was the third straight game without a touchdown for Marshall, but this is the kind of big yardage total his owners were looking for. Things could be tougher this week, however, when Denver faces the top-ranked Washington Redskins' pass defense. D.J. Williams - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 242lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Williams had six tackles and 0.5 sacks on Monday against Pittsburgh.
Impact: Another solid game for Williams, who continues to rack up tackles week-in and week-out. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins has seven tackles on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: A pretty standard game for the hard-hitting safety. Champ Bailey - #24 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 192lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bailey had 12 tackles on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: While he didn't record an interception, the 12 tackles is a season-high for the shutdown cornerback. Matt Prater - #5 - Kicker - 5'10" - 180lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Prater connected on a 40-yard field goal and was 1-of-1 on extra points on Monday against Pittsburgh.
Impact: The Broncos' offense struggled all night and barely got Prater into field goal range. Tony Scheffler - #88 - Tight End - 6'5" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Scheffler had one catch for three yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: Scheffler has two catches in his last two games combined and only has one game of note this season, which makes him a questionable fantasy start. Brandon Stokley - #14 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 192lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stokley had one catch for four yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: The Broncos struggled in every facet of the game and Stokley did little to separate himself in anyway. Jabar Gaffney - #10 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gaffney had two catches for six yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: Gaffney is low on the receiving chain for the Broncos and when Kyle Orton only completes 23 passes, Gaffney usually doesn't end up with many. Daniel Graham - #89 - Tight End - 6'3" - 257lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Graham had one catch for 18 yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: A low night for Graham, who rarely lights up fantasy scoreboards. Eddie Royal - #19 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 182lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Royal had five catches for 74 yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: A relatively decent night for any wide receiver, but it is unfortunately a significant night for Royal in 2009. The second-year wideout has struggled mightily this season and remains a questionable fantasy start. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moreno had five carries for three yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: A dreadful night for Moreno, who had four fewer carries than Correll Buckhalter. While Moreno had large expectations going into the season, he has yet to break the 100-yard barrier and has scored only two touchdowns in eight games. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter had nine carries for 24 yards and two catches for four yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: It was an ugly night overall for the Broncos and the team was extremely limited in the rushing game. An interesting point to note is that Buckhalter's nine carries were four more than starter Knowshon Moreno, who had been getting a majority of the carries in previous weeks. While there probably isn't more than the team liking Buckhalter more in the passing game, it is something worth paying attention to moving forward. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton completed 23-of-38 passes for 221 yards and no touchdowns on Monday night against Pittsburgh. Orton also had a season-high three interceptions.
Impact: Orton was pressured by the Steelers' defense all night and struggled to move the ball, which hurt the Broncos even more since they could only manage 27 rushing yards on the night. This was by far the worst game for Orton as a Bronco, although he should have better luck in the team's next game against the Redskins. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall had 11 catches for 112 yards on Monday night against Pittsburgh.
Impact: Marshall was targeted by Kyle Orton often, as the Broncos' running game was shut down for most of the night. While he did not find the end zone, it's comforting for Marshall owners to see him back in the fold after a few down weeks. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis is inactive for Monday night's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact: Hillis has mainly been used as a blocking back and special teams player this season, so this shouldn't affect many fantasy lineups. Ty Law - #26 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 200lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Broncos have shored up their secondary with another veteran, signing Law.
Impact: The 35-year-old Law, who has been to five Pro Bowls, gives the Broncos five players over 30 in the defensive backfield that now sports a combined 20 Pro Bowl selections. To make room, the Broncos waived defensive back Jack Williams. Law's signing also likely means reduced playing time in the nickel and dime packages for rookie Alphonso Smith. Ty Law - #26 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Law has reached agreement with the Broncos on a contract, pending a physical, ESPN reports.
Impact: He'll add depth to the secondary but it's not clear how big a role he'll have right away. Ty Law - #26 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
STATS
News: Law has agreed to terms on a deal with the Denver Broncos. Carl Poston, one of Law's agents, confirmed the news Friday to The Associated Press. The agreement came after Denver's media availability and a Broncos spokesman said the team had no comment.
Impact: The 35-year-old Law, a perennial Pro Bowl selection, will fit right in with veterans Champ Bailey, Andre' Goodman, Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill, all in their 30s. Lance Ball - #27 - Running back - 5'9" - 220lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Broncos have added Ball to their practice squad, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: The Broncos cycled out Darius Walker to make room for Ball, who is now an injury away from getting a look in Denver. Darius Walker - #34 - Running back - 5'11" - 208lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Broncos have released Walker from their practice squad, the Denver Post reports.
Impact: Walker hasn't seen an NFL touch since the end of the 2007 season, but he could catch on elsewhere as a depth guy. Eddie Royal - #19 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 182lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Royal had two catches for 10 yards in a 30-7 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
Impact: The frustrating season continues for Royal and his fantasy owners. The second-year man doesn't have a receiving touchdown all year and has totaled just 158 yards on 20 catches. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Marshall was quieted by the Ravens' defense and managed just four catches for 24 yards in a 30-7 loss on Sunday.
Impact: Marshall has another tough matchup with Pittsburgh on Monday night, but he still has the potential for a good game. Safety Ryan Clark may not play for the Steelers, and the Broncos will likely try to throw considering that Pittsburgh has the league's top-ranked run defense. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Moreno was held to 39 yards on 10 carries, but he did find the end zone for the Broncos' only score in a 30-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday.
Impact: The rookie's rise has slowed somewhat the last two weeks, and he may have trouble again on Monday night against Pittsburgh's tenacious defense. The Steelers rank No. 1 in the NFL against the run this season. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Orton had his least productive game as a Bronco in a 30-7 loss to Baltimore on Sunday. He threw for a season-low 152 yards and was held without a touchdown pass for the first time.
Impact: The Ravens' defense came out on a mission in this game, and it likely won't be any easier for Orton on Monday night, when the Broncos host the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins had eight tackles on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: Dawkins was coming into the game with a slight hamstring injury, but he was healthy enough to record a solid number of tackles. D.J. Williams - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 242lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Williams had 11 tackles on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: Williams continues to put up solid tackling numbers in 2009, much like he did in 2008 before he got hurt. Andra Davis - #54 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 250lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis had nine tackles and one sack on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: A very productive day for Davis, who is often overshadowed by the bigger names on the Broncos' defense. Tony Scheffler - #88 - Tight End - 6'5" - 250lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Scheffler had one catch for nine yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: After a huge game against the Chargers before the Broncos' bye week, Scheffler struggled on Sunday against Baltimore, much like the entire team. Quarterback Kyle Orton completed passes to eight different receivers and Scheffler struggled to separate himself in any way. Eddie Royal - #19 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Royal had two catches for 10 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: After a solid game against New England in Week 5, Royal was a non-factor as a wideout in Week 6 (although he did have a monster game as a kickoff and punt returner) and he contributed close to nothing following the team's bye week against Baltimore. Royal has disappointed nearly every fantasy owner this season and continues to be an extremely questionable start until he can put a few good games together. Peyton Hillis - #22 - Running back - 6'2" - 250lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hillis had two catches for 10 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: Hillis continues to be used as a blocking fullback and hasn't gotten many carries out of the backfield. While the team knows he has good hands, his opportunities have been limited so far this season. Brandon Marshall - #15 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 230lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall had four catches for 24 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: An extremely tough game for the Broncos as a whole, as they were dominated early and often by the Ravens. Quarterback Kyle Orton completed passes to eight different receivers and the Ravens did a solid job of keeping Marshall from breaking any tackles for a long completion or score. Marshall caught four touchdown passes in his last four games, but will have to wait for next week to get a chance at another. Daniel Graham - #89 - Tight End - 6'3" - 257lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Graham had three catches for 30 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: A pretty standard game for Graham, who only occasionally finds himself in the end zone with the ball. Jabar Gaffney - #10 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 200lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gaffney had three catches for 43 yards Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: The 43 yards actually led the Broncos, who were dominated throughout the game for their first loss of the season. The statistical output for Gaffney is about par for the course for him this season. Correll Buckhalter - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 217lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Buckhalter had eight carries for 16 yards and six catches for 30 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: The Broncos were playing from behind for most of the game, therefore Buckhalter's touches out of the backfield were very limited. Despite the low numbers, Buckhalter did lead the team in receptions as Kyle Orton connected with eight different receivers. Knowshon Moreno has the starting running back position pretty much locked up, but Buckhalter has been a rather decent play as a third down back so far this season. While an ankle injury limited him the past couple of weeks, the Broncos' bye week has apparently given him enough time to heal. Knowshon Moreno - #27 - Running back - 5'11" - 217lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moreno had ten carries for 39 yards and one touchdown on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: The Ravens defense has been pretty stingy this season and the Broncos were playing from behind for most of the game, limiting Moreno's touches. While he didn't dominate in the yardage category Sunday, at least he got into the end zone. Moreno continues to be the No. 1 running back in Denver and has a pretty strong hold on the spot. Kyle Orton - #8 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 217lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orton completed 23-of-37 passes for 157 yards on Sunday against Baltimore.
Impact: Orton did not have a touchdown on Sunday, but he also did not have an interception, the sixth time in seven games that he's done such a thing. While he may not be putting up huge fantasy numbers week to week, he is also not costing fantasy owners any points with giveaways. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Impact: The big hitting safety was able to practice fully on Friday, so he is available this week if he is one your IDPs. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins (hamstring, probable) practiced fully Friday.
Impact: It looks safe to deploy Dawkins (who has 38 tackles in six games) Sunday against the Ravens if he is one of their IDPs. Brian Dawkins - #20 - Safety - 6'0" - 210lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Dawkins, who missed most of the first half of Denver's last game with a hamstring injury and didn't practice Monday, practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact: More on his status for Sunday's game against the Ravens as the week rolls along. Mitch Berger - #17 - Punter - 6'4" - 228lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Broncos signed Berger on Monday after waiving punter Brett Kern.
Impact: Berger is a 16-year veteran and two-time Pro Bowler who played for Pittsburgh last season. Berger has a lifetime average of 43 yards on 796 punts. Berger made the 2004 Pro Bowl with New Orleans and the 1999 Pro Bowl with Minnesota. After two seasons with the University of Colorado he was selected by Philadelphia in the sixth round of the 1994 NFL draft. |
