Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tatum Bell ended the season as the Broncos' starting RB because seven tailbacks were on IR. It's anyone's guess who will begin 2009 as the starter, especially since there is a new coaching staff. But the release of Alridge, Haynes and Pope will help Fantasy owners gain better clarity on the situation once mini-camps begin. Ryan Torain and Patrick Hillis still look the most capable of handling serious workloads going forward, but new HC Josh McDaniels comes from a team, the Patriots, that have made effective use of RBBCs in recent seasons.
