The Facts: Each season from 2012-16, two Broncos running backs had at least 100 carries. HC Vance Joseph wants a return to that divided workload. “We want two or three guys to be our main core backs,” Joseph said during minicamp last month.

Diehards Line: But which two or three guys? The Broncos have five tailbacks — Devontae Booker, De’Angelo Henderson, Royce Freeman, David Williams and Phillip Lindsay — likely competing for four spots. Joseph explained that “somebody’s got to be the starter,” which means the first snap of the game and nothing more. At the start of camp, that figures to be Booker, who has the experience edge (29 games) over his competition. But as Post staffer Ryan O'Halloran noted, Freeman was "ultra-productive in college (three years of at least 1,300 yards).” O’Halloran added the rookie “could emerge as Week 1 starter."
