The Facts:
With the regular-season opener now 17 days away and Moreno not yet expected to be full speed -- either in his recovery from a sprained knee or his football conditioning -- by the time the Broncos go to Cincinnati, it means the Broncos’ plans of running back by committee could have just two members.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Moreno, the team's first-round draft pick, and LaMont Jordan (knee) having missed significant parts of the preseason, what was a position of strength when training camp opened now has some concern associated with it. Oft-injured Correll Buckhalter has taken most of the practice reps with the starters of late, but Post staffer Jeff Legwold reminds us the former Eagle has carried the ball more than 20 times in a game just twice in his career, neither of those since 2003. Peyton Hillis is the other option at the moment, but Hillis has a full plate of special teams duties to keep him busy as well as well as being the team’s primary FB.
