Factoid: Denver running backs

I’m not sure who’ll be starting at quarterback for the Broncos. Most likely it will be a rookie. But whoever it is, I expect he’ll be connecting on plenty of passes to running backs.   more »

Factoid: Denver running backs

Things are up in the air in Denver, with the team in the market for a new starting quarterback and probably obtaining at least one notable wide receiver. But however those changes shake out, I will be optimistic about the team’s running backs.  more »

Around the NFL: Broncos running backs

It's hard to know what to make of the Broncos backfield. Javonte Williams is coming off a torn ACL and other ligament damage, but unlike say the Jets (who signed Dalvin Cook with Breece Hall coming off injury), Denver's words and actions suggest Williams be fine.   more »

Around the NFL: Javonte Williams

Javonte Williams hasn't attracted a lot of love in early drafts. Coming off a torn ACL (and other ligament damage), he's been barely sneaking into the top 30 running backs, about a 7th-round pick in PPR leagues, according to ADP data. But things are looking up.   more »

Cincinnati Bengals running back JOE MIXON appears to be nearing a return to action, logging his first full practice on Wednesday since suffering a concussion against the Pittsburgh Steelers on NovemberMore 20th.

Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor reiterated that Mixon is the team’s starting running back, but fellow rusher SAMAJE PERINE had filled in nicely over the past three weeks and could warrant additional reps in the backfield moving forward.

It’s looking like it will be Samaje Perine for the Bengals on Sunday. Joe Mixon is still in the concussion protocol, and he hasn’t practiced all week. But expectations should be modest.  more »

It might already be too late (really bugs me that ESPN runs their waivers overnight Tuesday rather than Wednesday), but make sure Samaje Perine is on a roster. He might need to start for the Bengals this week.   more »
