Denver Broncos running back Montee Ball was expected to make a huge leap this year. Running backs next to Peyton Manning almost always post massive numbers, but that hasn't happened yet for Ball. On the season, he has just 127 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards and one score on his 40 touches.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: Montee Ball
Montee Ball has been disappointing so far after some lofty expectations. Will that change in a horrible matchup for fantasy owners?

The good news for Ball is that he hasn't put the football on the turf so far this season. The bad news is that he'll face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. He was a non-factor in the Super Bowl last season, posting just one rushing yard on six carries and two receiving yards on two catches. Yeah, a 0.4 yards-per-touch is not a good average.
Still, Ball will be a big part of the game plan for the Broncos. The Super Bowl was just a disaster and he should certainly have a better game -- even in Seattle. Unless you have a stacked bench, Ball should be able to crack double-digit fantasy points as an RB2.
