Fantasy Football Reality Check: Knowshon is the Broncos’ Real Horse

by Matt Snyder

Filed under: , ,

Each Monday of the fantasy football season, we'll cut through the fantasy numbers put up by individuals and tell you what they really mean.

Sunday in the Broncos' complete undressing of the Kansas City Chiefs, their leading rusher was Correll Buckhalter. He gained 113 yards on just 12 carries. But that doesn't mean anything moving forward in fantasy football. Why not? Because Knowshon Moreno is their guy. Who gets the important yards (touchdowns and much-needed first downs)? Moreno. Who gets the bulk of the work? Moreno. Who, as a rookie with star potential, is working his way into very consistent territory? You know the answer.

In the past four games, Knowshon has gained at least 80 yards on the ground each time. He's now scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks. He's also carried the ball 68 times to Buckhalter's 41 in that same span. The Broncos clearly trust him and so should you.
