Denver Broncos running back Montee Ball is listed as probable for Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams. Ball is dealing with a groin injury that has forced him out of Denver's last four games. He was well on his way to losing his starting job thanks to strong play from Ronnie Hillman, but that's now out the window with Hillman's injury. So Ball is looking at a return to the starting role in this game.
Montee Ball injury update: Broncos RB probable, has some fantasy value
Montee Ball is dealing with a groin injury but seems poised to make his return. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ball had 55 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown before going down with the injury. He was struggling here and there and was out-played by Hillman. In Denver's last game, C.J. Anderson ran his way into the conversation with a strong outing. Anderson carried the ball 13 times for 90 yards in the game, so it seems likely he'll take some carries from Ball.
Fantasy Impact: Ball seems ready to go. The probable designation is supposed to denote a 25 percent chance of missing the game, but he’ll be playing. The question now is his workload, and how many carries will go to Anderson. For now, Ball seems like a decent fantasy option.
