The Facts:
Slaton has been dealing with sore ribs since Week 11. HC Gary Kubiak had wanted to increase Ahman Green’s reps against the Browns Sunday to rest Slaton, but Slaton carried the bulk of the load and finished with 21 carries for 73 yards. Green had 13 attempts for 39 yards.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Green also suffered a knee injury that could cost him two weeks. “So, we have a problem. We have a beat-up young back (Slaton) that really wasn’t 100 percent, a young kid (Ryan Moats) that hasn’t touched the ball much that we didn’t want to put in that situation. But Steve hung in there and finished the game ..." And Slaton, sore ribs or not, is going to continue getting the bulk of the carries with Ryan Moats available to work in relief.
