Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno is listed as probable to face the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. He didn't miss any practice and his name on the injury report is merely a technicality.
Knowshon Moreno injury update: He’s healthy and is a must-start option
Knowshon Moreno has transformed into a must-start back. We break down the fantasy implications.
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
The Broncos have been New England Patriot-like with their injury report and Moreno is pretty close to 100 percent. He’s picked up some serious momentum even though his carries haven’t been too high. While he didn’t carry the ball more than 15 times, his receptions have gone up with a six- and seven-reception game in two of his last three outings.
As elluded to, Moreno hasn’t been great on the ground and hasn’t been over 3.3 yards per carry in any of his last three games. Still, he has four TDs in that span and nine on the season.
The Broncos have such a terrific offseason that even just 10 carries per game should yield some results on the stat sheet.
Fantasy impact: He’s come a long way from his days of being a third-string back and he should be in all lineups this week in what could be a shootout. Especially with his contributions in the passing game.
